This is another open-topic short story, so write about whatever you'd like!
Remember to "write what you know" if you get stuck. I could never write about being a particle physicist, but I *could* write about being a total klutz!
Take plenty of time to establish your character and setting. If we cannot see the story through shown details, we can't really experience it fully!
As you write, consider what choices would be made internally as your protagonist deals with external forces, and try to resolve these, and then your story is complete!
As always, there is no minimum or maximum number of pages, but the more you can work to resolve conflict, the better your score will be, and the less revision you might have to do for your portfolio this term!
