Short Story Share
Hmmm.... so what are some ideas people have.
Prompt 1: Briefly write about your short story idea. What is the basic plot and setting?
Prompt 2: Briefly respond to someone elses story by making one suggestion to help them change, improve, enhance their idea. Be respectful and be constructive. This is actually harder than it seems.

My picture is of two teenage girls on a dirt road near a tralior park...
my story is i think going to become the end of the school year the girls are coming home, its very windy out, and theres a hurrican and then im not too sure..i think im just going to make everyone die...i know im side this week, but it will be good, plenty of detail...yea
oh for promte two..jaqui make the girl prego...n thats why she leaves him cuz she cant tell him i think that would be funny...
By the way, why don't you all add some pics/words/creativity to the wikipedia adventure. Liz and Ryan have been all-stars, but they're carrying the load.... Also, can Rae Rae identify who she is? lol
One to five pages.
Warning: a good one page story is often much harder to write than a good four page story.

I'm down with the robbery idea, but something about the picture suggests, to me, that they are going through or just on the verge of a relationship crisis. I feel like she is about to drop a bomb, but her nerves lead her to tinker on the piano.
That said, it's YOUR story so do what you want.
My pic is of a futuristic city, with no sky (just metal), flying cars, and whatnot.
So I thought I'd wright about the future as to how we'll be stuck living in a world that is full of nothing more than robotics and us people. Like, how we take nature for granted and when we don't have it, we miss it, even if we've never seen it before. I still don't know about characters, it's kind of hard but I'm going to try someone who is a bit nieve and doesn't exactly know why its liek this. Still not sure though.
lizz can kill off all the characters, it'd be a last minute unexpected plot twist. Nobody ever expects the main character to die, and if it proves a point to the story then it's fine.
MY picture was of a quarterback throwing a football and the oposing team player coming in for a tackle. I had trouble finding a good story to run from this pic. Ideas welcome!! What i was thinking of doing is having the quarterback be a small town boy with big talent, but there is a hitch. He lives with his father because his mother died when he was 2. The father being a drunk is constantly abusing the son and putting him down. The sons outlet is football. The son makes it to college for free via athletic scolariship, all the while the father is telling him that he will not amount to nething. i havent quite figured out how to end it yet, but i found out what the subtext will be.

My pic is of a boy and girl in the desert with a dazling blue sky and mountains in the background. The boy appears to be diving for a yellow thing(cannot identify this item) on the ground, and the girl is just standing there. Well i haven't written about anything supernatural before so I have decided to make the boy a super hero, and he is saving the girl from his nemesis. The settings will be the desert, obvioulsy, and the hideout of this as of yet un-named nemesis. For more details read the story.

A Fess, I think you should try to fit in the fire part of the story better. Unless that is the big suprise you have in store for us! Well either way i expect you to let me to peer evaluate it.
Have fun with these everyone!!!
