Experiment 1: Unsuccessful {{Twisted History Challenge}}

2008-06-26T19:37:26Z

Benjamin Franklin reached for the doorknob, a metal rod at hand. Outside, a wicked storm was occuring, and rain poured down from the sky heavily.

Mr. Franklin, once outside, attached the metal rod to his home, hoping it would attract lightning for an experiment. “There,” he grunted after attaching the rod. Then he walked inside, soaked through, and with high hopes.

Inside, he lit a candle and placed it on his wooden chest in his room, anticipating the lightning. As each bolt struck, he counted the seconds between the flash and the roars. “One…two…” BOOM ! It was getting closer.

Then, there was a blinding flash of light, and then smoke. Lots of smoke, Benjamin Franklin’s house was on fire. He ran to the door but tripped over a shoe. He laid there, hopeless and unconscious.

His house burned to the gound, as did he. They found his body, covered in ashes, the next day. But they never found his plans and idea for future experiments…

Too Hot, Way Too Hot

2008-06-26T19:08:20Z

“Mmm…” I rubbed my hand in anticipation as the pizza was set before us. Jamie had ordered half plain, and I ordered half meatballs. “Have you ever had pizza from here?”, I asked her, She shook her head. “No.” I smiled, “Then you’re in for a treat. It’s delicious.”

I watched as she picked the thin-crusted pizza off the plate. She looked at me, narrowing her eyes as she noticed me watching. Then she took a bite.

Her eyes got really wide and she started to reach for the water. Her face was red and I handed her a napkin. After she took a big swig and wipe her mouth she announced what she thought. “That,” she said pointing at the pizza. “Is hot.” I smiled. Again.

As I picked mine up, I was sure to blow on it to cool it off. “But it was good right?” She shrugged. “I don’t know,” then she grinned. “I didn’t really get to really taste it.” Then she picked i up again, coling it off first. I watched as she put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes.

“Mmmm…”

So, We're Still Friends

2008-06-24T20:16:57Z

“Can’t deal with what?”

“Nothing, forget that I said anything, ‘kay?”

“No, you’re my best friend, my ‘main dawg’”

“Ha, shut up about that, that was a long time ago!”

“Anyway, Jason, what were you gonna tell me?”

“Uh….I don’t know if I can.”

“Why not? We’re best friends.”

“For now.”

“Please, you’re joking ri—wait? You didn’t like do anything,
right? Like hit on Ally, or steal anything.”

“No, god, it’s like the opposite.”

“Fine, then tell me! I’m dying here!”

“I’m….I’m..uh..”

“You’re what?”

“I think I’m gay.”

“So, that doesn’t change anything, Jason, we’ll always be friends.”

The Scary Part Isn't...

2008-06-15T20:07:45Z

The scary part isn’t
the fact
that the next time
you step outside
the door of your house,
it might be the last.

It isn’t
the fact
that you may never
hear the words,
“I love you,”
again.

It’s definately not
that every time
you make
a desicion,
you may be
altering
or wiping out
your future,
or even everybody else’s,
forever.

The scary thing isn’t
that each
passing second
may be the last.

No, none of those things
are quite as scary
as
living a lie.
Being
afraid.
Not taking
any risks.

So baisically,
I’m just saying,
loud and clear:

BE A RISK -TAKER, DON ’T BE AFRAID OF LIFE , BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE A SCARY THING , IT’S NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR YOU . LIVE LIFE , DON’T THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW .
YOU ’LL REGRET IT IF YOU DO .

TRUST ME .
JUST DOING THAT IN ITSELF IS A RISK .

YOU ’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK ALREADY .

Good luck

Shut Up and Watch the Stars

2008-06-08T23:26:16Z

“Wow.”

“I told you so.”

“Yeah, I’ll agree with you this time, Bailey.”

“Hey, look at that one, all the way over there.”

“I see it, it’s so bright.”

“And that one.”

“Wait, what was that, that streak of light?”

“That’s a shooting star. Amazing, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Make a wish.”

“I already did.”

“So what’d ya wish for?”

“Nothing.”

“Tell me, c’mon.”

“Nope.”

“Pretty please. See, I’m doing The Face.”

“No, it’s none of your buisness, now shut up and watch the stars.”

Not So Fast

2008-06-08T23:04:56Z

Finally, Emily realized what was happening. Or rather what was going to stop happening: her life. The man was trying to take her heart. Her eyes widened at the excruciating pain that ripped through her whole body, making it shake. She had never experienced such pain or fear ever in her life.

Dana was now looking at Emily and the man, shock painted onto her face. She was right, thought Emily. The Wonderball is bad. She now regretted ever ignoring the warnings Dana had tried to give her.

“Please,” Emily gasped in horror. “Don’t do this to…” the tearing sensation was almost unbearable now. The man’s wicked smile widened and his eyes narrowed. “Finally,” he smirked. “It’s finally going to happen.”

“No!” Emily shouted, she thought it was her last breath, but then a woman came out from the bathroom. Her face calm and gentle.

The other half of the Wonderball…

Unprepared

I heard the photographer (Denn?) grumbling under his breath. But when I looked at the girl he was shooting at the moment, she seemed to have been in the perfect pose. Her posture was amazing, and the angles were fantastic. Her expression was sincere, and—

“Next!”

I turned my gaze from the model, to the girl with a pencil behind her ear waving at me to step onto the set. I wasn’t prepared for this and I didn’t know how to strike the perfect pose. Heck, I just learned what the perfect pose was when I saw the girl before me. I felt like such an ametuer, which I am, but I didn’t want to show it. Especially not in front of these girls.
“Um, Miss, can you hurry. We only have a limited amount of time, you see…” I smiled at the woman and nodded, stepping onto the chair they set up for me. “So what’s your name?” Denn asked as I took my place, his voice bored as if he’d been asking this for hours to the others just to have some kind of conversation.

“Mimi,” I told him informatively. Then he smiled at me.

We Can Do Anything ♥ [[( Fearless) Lyrics Challenge]]

2008-05-31T14:17:02Z

You know I want to ask you to dance, right there, in the middle of the parking lot. Somehow,I don’t know how, , but it’s like you read my mind. You bow, those old-fashioned bows, almost falling. I laugh, my voice loud in the empty parking lot, except for the raindrops. And I don’t know why but, with you, I dance in a storm in my best dress. Fearless.

You pull into the driveway that’s so familiar now. And I get out of the car. You intwine your warm fingers with mine as we walk through the door. You stood there with me in the doorway. I’m not usually this way but you pull me in and I’m a little braver. It’s flawless, really something, it’s fearless.
○○♥○○
We can do anything.

October 10, 2000, the Shaking that Scared Me

2008-05-25T23:42:57Z

I was sitting,
To your right,
When it happened.
The first time,
In a while.
I wasn’t thinking about,
Next year,
Of carpools,
Or the next night,
At the hospital.
All I could think of
Was the shaking,
The sirens,
And the flashing lights.
And the fact,
That I, your daughter,
Saw it happen.
I saw my mother,
Have a seizure.

The Love That Lasts

2008-05-25T23:19:29Z

_{We were a family,} picture perfect, _{easily framed.}
_{Then you left us, me,} for something better,
_{Leaving an empty space,}
A hole in my heart.
_{And Mother got married, and Chris went to college.
And Bruce isn’t too bad, but he doesn’t}
_{Fill the space,}
Or fix the hole.
_{What happened to} “true love lasts”?
_{Or the “I do’s” on the alter?}
They don’t matter,
_{Not to you, or Mother, or even Chris.}
_But they matter to me.
_{It seems like} I’m the only person who remembers,
_{When you left us behind to go to “a better place”,}
_{Just to sit there, looking down,}
_{From Heaven,}
At the family you tore apart.

Papa, I still love you…

Welcome to Heaven

2008-05-23T02:24:42Z

I should’ve been sad. But I felt happiness too. I saw my friend, Maggie, who had died of a heart attack. She smiled at me, waving cheerily. “Wow. Halley! Finally. I’m not alone, god, it’s been so weird here. All by myself.” I walked over to where she was mowing her lawn.

“So…” I said, shoving my hands nervously into my pockets. “This is what it looks like?” She nodded, putting her hands on her hips.

I took it all in. From the fresh-cut grass to the chirping of the birds. It was perfect. Except for the fact that I’m dead. But, before all of this, I pictured a cloud as heaven. But now….

There were people all around me. People whose faces I saw in the obituaries, people I knew before they were gone. Everybody. Well, everybody dead at least.

“It’s so…” I began, Maggie still by my side. But something distracted me. In the corner of my eye, I saw a boy, about my age franticly look out the window of the house next door.

There was a familiar red Ford Explorer in the driveway…

200 Ficlets....Maybe a Soundtrack Challenge!!!

2008-05-20T20:09:06Z

Okay, wow it’s been what? Eight months I think. And here I am, 200 hundred ficlets. Finally. So what’s the challenge? Well, it’s fairly simple if you ask me.

I know there have been so many challenges based on music but…

...I couldn’t resist. Music is such a huge part of my life and who I am, I get obsessive. So…..

I want you to make the soundtrack of your life. Include a line from the song that really describes you.

Please sequel this for an entry, and minimum 7 songs. I don’t think it’s too difficult.

I can put an example after this if it’s to confusing or if there’s something you’re unsure of, you can just check out mine.

Wow, this looks short for a challenge. There’s no deadline

Heaven On Earth

2008-05-20T00:59:20Z

I wasn’t thinking when I ignored the stop sign on the intersection of Elm St. and Skyway Ave. speeding past houses. But then it hit me, quite literally. It was a red Ford Explorer that was coming out of an Gulf gas station. It too was speeding, and hit me on the driver’s side. Then all went blank…

I woke up, a thin line of sweat had formed above my lip. The sheets were tangled in my legs, and the clock on my dresser said 8:04. Sun poured through the window, giving the room a sort of cozy feel. I could smell bacon in the air.

Downstairs, someone was cooking breakfast, I could hear the sizzling of the fryingpan. “Hey Grandma,” I said, then hesitated. Grandma died two years ago. I thought about the possibility of another nightmare, quickly deciding that it was.

After breakfast, I went outside to walk to school. Was it just me, or did the population of Clifton drop before my eyes. Then I realized that it wasn’t a nightmare. I wasn’t even sleeping. This is Heaven, I told myself.
