Sammy (allnightreading) Ideas, and plots for stories that have not come to be.

Sammy (allnightreading) This is the story that I came up with from TMEB's writing challenge for me. I'm not sure if this is how I am suppose to do it, but I'm thinking there is no rule to how I incorporate the elements of the challenge.

P.S. I'm not an expert at summarizing, so bare with me. Hope you find it interesting.

In the beginning of the story, Elena gets a text message from someone she doesn't know. The text reads, "You have an hour, you may begin."

Elena promptly leaves her house, to go to Anthony's house because she needed to talk to Anthony. She had called him beforehand, saying that she would like to come over. She knows that Anthony would be waiting by his bedroom window that faces the street, eagerly. She knows that he has had a major crush on her since the middle grade, but it was so obvious to everyone that even Michael has become suspicious.

Michael is a very jealous boyfriend, he had put a guy in a hospital for looking at Elena three seconds too long. Elena wants to warn Anthony to back off because she doesn't want to see Anthony getting hurt.

During the whole long walk to Anthony's house, she sees a paperboy passing by the bike that calls out to her asking her if she was sure she wanted to go in that direction. She feels that the paperboy looks vaguely familiar, but she lets this feeling pass.

She then gets another text from the same unknown person, and the text reads, "Remember, anything is possible! Don't be afraid to shake it up a little."

She felt strange about the text, but tried to ignore it. She started crossing the street that was in front of Anthony's house, but her mind was on the text, so she did not notice the car that was coming right at her.

Before anything more could happen, someone said "Stop!". It was Tommy, he asks why Amanda suddenly went all suicidal on a character. Now, he would have to use his character to save her. Amanda argues that he doesn't have to, "The professor clearly said to shake it up a little! You can let her die, or get seriously injured, or whatever!" Amanda said. It is then we learn that the story is a creative writing exercise in a Creative Writing class. The two writers argue about the way the story should end, while October by Eric Whitacre played in the background. The professor announces that the time is up, and Tommy and Amanda are upset that they didn't even get to finish their story.

That is the end, there is probably a lot of plot holes and stuff, but this is what I thought of.
