Title ideas for short story? (URGENT)?

Question

Hey everyone. :) I'm working on a short story for a writing course I'm taking, and I have just about everything done except for the title.

The story's about a girl who's caught in a trap in the woods because she was separated from her friend Matt that she was hiking with. She's in pain and eventually Matt comes to rescue her. He takes her to the hospital, gets her leg x-rayed, etc.

But eventually the scene cuts back to her in the woods, and she's still caught in the trap. Matt was never there in the first place. He died in the same woods a year ago, and she went for a walk to commemorate it. When she was caught in the trap the pain was too much, and she began to hallucinate the whole thing.

I know it sounds really lame when you read the summary (I had such a hard time trying to write it) but the story is actually not that bad. If anyone can help me with an idea for a title, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'll also email the draft to you if it helps. The story's due tomorrow. :)

Answer 1

Living in the Past
Memory Lane
I Know What I Did Last Summer

Answer 2

Hi, bear with me for a moment. Where you say that matt takes her to the hospital, etc..is this where the story starts or are you starting with the ending? And, I know this is a story but is this part of the story reality or imagination?
You the say the story goes back to recap what actually happened and where we find out that matt is actually already dead. OK, if she hallucinates then you mean that she thinks she sees Matt , brought on by her state of shock and in that state she believes that Matt actually takes her to the hospital? The only reality (in the story) then, is that she is caught in a trap?
One thought, do you mean to say that she got caught in a trap after being separated from her friend matt, or "BECAUSE she was separated, she got caught i a trap..."? The implication of connotations is different. Also, was she in love with her friend, because although you don't specifically say, it could be taken that way? Anyway.....think, think, think...
How about...." A Love Lost", "Appointment with Time", "The Awful Truth", "Mirror in the Woods", A Wooded Veil", "Crying in the mist", "Mist in the Woods" Into the Mist" Actually, simply by the title you give your story, you can imply the theme of your story.eg.romance, horror, suspense, etc.. and come up with titles accordingly.. Have Fun!

Answer 3

The Remembrance Walk

Answer 4

The Rescue

Answer 5

mind of/in the woods
if youve named the woods,
you could include that in the title.

Answer 6

It's hard without having read it, which I would enjoy and could give feedback on. How about "Nightmare Girl" which I admit is lame, or "The Parting" (Part-ing as in trap spelled backwards)? I dunno yet. I'll think on it.

Answer 7

The trap.
