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.”
