Write a short story that is set in Argentina in 1932, in which a teacup plays a crucial role.

A teacup is a very ordinary object that can have a very deep impact on many people. The teacup in question is in the presidental mansion in the hands of a very important young girl. A young girl who has no idea the impact she will have on the future. 

The future is such a flimsy thing if it can be changed by a girl and a teacup. The teacup is sitting on the table in front of the young girl. She doesn’t know it but there is something inside the cup that will either kill her or save her. As she sits talking with her step-mother, her step-mother keeps pushing the cup in its saucer closer to her. The young girl finally gives in and picks up the cup and rises it to her lips. Then suddenly there is a loud boom, the liquid goes down her throat, and she collapses. The president of Argentina comes rushing in and sees his daughter lying motionless on the rug. 

President Amador said, “Oh my god! Maria. What did you do.” 

Isabelle Amador said, “I took care of a problem.” Isabelle bends down and picked up the teacup and said, “One down, two more to go.”

“What?!” said the young woman. 

“You are fired. Terminated. Let go. Not gonna make the cut, and we decided to go in a different direction,” said the CEO. 

The young woman rises from her chair, calmly brushes off her clothes, and exits the office. As she stands in the doorway turns around and said, “Thank you for your consideration and thank you for being so polite. I mean it is very rare that I get turned down for a job with insults of my competence. Thank you so much for giving me the job and firing me two weeks later.”

A storm destroys your uncle’s shed and kills his six-year-old. Describe the color of the sky right before the storm hit.

I live in Kansas in tornado alley and you can always tell when a storm is coming by the color of the sky. The color of the sky right before the storm that took the life of my 6-year-old was a blue-green-gray and a very deep blood red. I will never be the same again because that storm took my soul away from me. It took away my reason for living.

Describe an electronic device in the future that you won’t know how to operate.

The year is 2020. Our world has settled their differences and there is no more war. So we are able to put our money toward more important matters.

She will discover that her life wasn’t all meaningless and that the little things she did left the most lasting impression.

Pick a small object to be given one day to your great-grandchild. Write a letter to that child explaining why you have chosen this object.

My dearest Cameron, 

You don’t know me and we will never meet. I am your great-grandmother. I wish I could see you grow up, but it’s not in the cards. So I leave you with my most prized possession. My mother’s heart-shaped locket that became kind of a good luck charm for me. I met the love of my life wearing it and maybe some of its luck will rub off on you. 

           Love now and forever, 

           Melinda Dana Brandon

You have just swallowed your pride and done something you didn’t want to do. Your friend wants to know why. The two of you are driving around an almost-full parking garage looking for a space for the friend’s oversize pickup. Write the scene.

My pride has been preventing me from admitting my feelings for my best friend. He has seen me through all my ups and downs, but I never told I felt because I have always believed that he is the most arrogant, disorderly, impatient, and disrespectful jackass. But I am putting that aside and I am going to tell him how I feel; I am going to just spit the words out no matter what happens. Oh my god what if he laughs at me. Oh who am I kidding, he wouldn’t laugh; he would however think I was just feeding his ego. Okay I am totally overthinking this. Okay here it goes: 

“James!” I said. 

             James honked the horn and cursed at the woman who almost t-boned his pickup, “Dammit. You son of a bitch. There was a stop sign back there for a reason....Did you say something, Nattie?”

      I continued, “Yes I did. I was going to say...”

James said, “ Oh hey a spot opened up. Hold that thought.” James goes screaming into the spot and my opportunity to say I love you has passed me by.

Tell a complete stranger about a beloved family tradition.

Do you have a family? Yes, I believe do. I mean nobody can make you both angry and happy at the same time. My family has a tradition of falling in love with complete strangers. This may seem very strange to you, a complete stranger, but it is true. My grandparents met in a hospital wing during the Vietnam War and my parents met at a bus stop in Ohio. And me, well I guess I am the exception, for I have yet to fall in love. I was beginning to think I would never fall in love, that is until I met you.

What a character holding a blue object is thinking right now.

The color blue is deep and mysterious. Blue is the color of the endless ocean. Blue also reminds me of a man. A man with a blue box that travels anywhere in space and time and the time that I used to travel with him. I sit here with my hand on that blue box and I begin to remember our many adventures. Then I realize that my greatest adventure...married life...is about to begin.

I have never stolen anything in my life, but something has been stolen from me. It was something that was very dear to me, but I will never see it again. The item in question is my HEART. It was stolen by my feelings for a man that I shouldn’t have feelings for, what am I going to do?

Tell a story that begins with a ransom note.

Mr. President, 

WE have your daughter. Don’t bother looking for us, WE are of no importance. But if you ever want to see your daughter again in one piece you will bend to our demands. If you don’t meet OUR demands, then WE will send your daughter back to you...one piece at a time. 

Thank you for your cooperation, 

The People

The apocalypse has come and gone. The remaining people have broken off into two fractions: The People, those who believe in democracy and the United States of America, The Cooperation, the 1% of the 1% who are now running the country and have elected the savior of mankind as the President of the New Confederation, a man named Alejandro Martinez. The People are lead by a rebel who calls himself Ceasar, but his actual name is Dominic Macintosh. He leads the colonies (former U.S.A) in a rebellion against the Cooperation (former U.K.).

You are an astronaut.Describe your perfect day.

Being an astronaut can be a tiresome and anxiety-filled task to undertake. There are days where I miss the simple things, like indoor plumbing, toilet paper, a bed, my husband, and even gravity. But that one perfect day in space makes up for the bad days. That day begins like any other; I wake up and get dressed, eat my breakfast, and realize where I am. Every day when I wake up in outer space staring up at the stars and the Earth down below and I count my blessings because I am the luckiest person in the whole wide world. I get to look down on the Earth every day and realize that there are millions of people down below who would kill for this opportunity. I count myself lucky because I will survive the fighting down on Earth, but I don’t think I will survive my future if I lose you, so you have to promise me that you will not do anything brave and stupid. Promise me that you will survive these horrible atrocities so we can create a future together: you, me, and our baby.

Write Facebook status updates for the year 2017

1.) Life in 2017 is not much different. Our country still has encured a huge debt because of the war. We have a new president and life as we know it goes on. 

2.) Oh my god! Can you believe it we have made it 2017 and the world didn’t end. Take that you silly Mayans! 

3.) 2017, the year that the United States finally pulls out of the Middle East and we are no longer at war and our country can finally start to rebuild. Anything could happen.
