Finally, after a year, Jones's was assigned the third stall, and the sky was sunny and clear. The races this year took place in Charleston, South Carolina. If nothing stood in his way, Jones would definitely win with his trusty stead. The race was the last—deciding the ultimate title of Equestrian Extraordinaire, a legendary status given to the champions of the Summer Races in the States.

"Paradigm"

I did that twice—the first I caught. D<

Paradigm: A man silently, lonely, walked down the dark alley of a city's neighborhood. He stopped to think about his stressful job when a woman landed on the paved walkway—dead. He ran off to call for help.

With a paramedic, he came back down the alley. The woman was gone. He looked up to see the escape route... and a woman. The woman was pushed off the ledge and the woman, yet again, fell, dead.

The Two Trumpeters

The novel reaches a climax as the violinist gives up their instrument and takes up the trumpet in order to be with their love. They eventually break away from the orchestra and form a duet, known as The Two Trumpeters.

The Wartiest Witch.

The Wartiest Witch - Two kids were walking down a road situated in a dense forest. They had sneaked off in the middle of the night to visit a nearby lake, which mysteriously glowed every night. They arrived at the glowing lake and watched it. They decided to try swimming in the lake. The first kid was brave, so he slowly waded in. The second kid got the "okay" sign to get in. They both went underwater, but....

In the morning the kids were reported missing, last seen walking to the small lake. The village searched for the kids. One woman checked in the water—and she checked underwater for the kids. But instead of the woman, the wartiest witch anyone could imagine came out, a murderous smile on her face.

(Hm.... that one wasn't so good.)

Some Guy and a Cupcake.

Some Guy and a Cupcake is a humorous fantasy about a young boy and a strange cupcake. While riding his new cerulean G40X mountain bike to his friend’s house, Jimmy rides into a dark and humid swamp filled with giant decaying tree. Jimmy stays on the muddy trail, knowing not to ventures into the dark, viridian water. However, the whiff of what would seem like an ordinary, fresh cupcake frees Jimmy of the swamp’s stench as well as his rationality, leading him to ride his bike towards the smell. He gets off his bike and plunges into the murky water below, Jimmy swims towards a faintly yellow house, with the paint chafing mindlessly. Basically memorized at this point, Jimmy’s eyes are fixed on the windowsill, which on it, houses a spotless, silver platter, with a single muffin. Jimmy steps slowly towards it, the steam from the top clearly visible and showing it was truly fresh. The swamp with tree branches hanging down to seemingly want to strangle anyone who comes near does not seem to even appear in Jimmy’s eyes. Now in arm’s reach, Jimmy’s mind is set on tasting the magnificent muffin. However, at the moment the cupcake is in Jimmy’s sweaty clutches, an old lady appears in view of the windowsill, from inside the house. “What are you doing with my muffin?” the old lady screeches. The lady than laughs at Jimmy hysterically, then grabs her tall black hat from the coat hanger. The utter darkness of her hat caused Jimmy to snap back into sanity, and into fright. Jimmy has learned that he has gone face to face to a real life witch.

Your Personal Invitation

Your Personal Invitation: Renée Laroche was walking down the small road, Rue de Grenlle. She turned onto Rue de Bellechasse and strutted to her house. Atop the small quartet of steps, she opened her small metal mailbox and pulled out a dim, yellow envelope. She immediately opened it to find a small piece of paper with but one word on it: Louvre. She automatically knew what it meant.

Renée walked to the front door of the famed Louvre, and found another yellow envelope. She opened it and it said "Door." She opened the door and a man appeared. He pointed a gun to her eye and shot her dead.

The Invitation Killer struck again.

Next title: The Wine Glass


EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see Jedi of Nayru's post.

Ransom for towels? D:

The Wine Glass: She looked up from her meal, staring deeply into me. Deeply infatuated. What was I thinking at the time? I look down rapidly to avoid eye contact; then I looked up, and she's still looking. She grabs her glass of wine and gets up slowly. She walks to me—wine in hand. She sits down gracefully.

Something felt like it hit my heart. I was deafened by... something. Was I... in love? No.... The glass was broken, and she had a gun in her hand. Later on, in the hospital, I was barely alive. The bullet missed my heart by a mere millimeter. A police officer came in and told me she was The Wine Glass. Which made no sense....

You forgot to say a new title, so I'll just throw one out there.

Operation Deathkill 3: Curly's Revenge

Operation Deathkill 3: Curly's Revenge: Three guys nodded to each other and walked through the metal door, and stepped up to the counter. They said two words to the person on the other side. They sat and waited for their call.

Eventually it came, and they retrieved an item. They sat back down and nodded to each other again. The first guy picked up a curly fry and ate it. The curly fries were the world's spiciest, featuring none other than the Ghost Chili. The contest was keenly named Operation Deathkill 3, since in order to win, a trio had to survive the hottest curly fry on the planet.

Of course, this wouldn't make for a good story, since curly fries can only go a few pages or so.

The Revolving Circular Thing Two Random Guys Saw in the Sky at Midnight After a Day at the Pub. Pretty specific.

The Revolving Circular Thing Two Random Guys Saw in the Sky at Midnight After a Day at the Pub: I have to start out by saying that I realize the title is a bit long and I would be open to suggestions on shortening it. That having been said the story follows the lives of these two guys who after a day at the pub both saw something that could only be described as a revolving circular thing. While both men saw the circular thing they each believe they were the only one to see it and have searched for the truth eversince.

That's where I got stuck. Do they realize they're looking for the same thing and join up? Do they keep searching on their own? Do I reveal what the circular thing was? I'm having trouble answering these questions. So for now I will set it aside and hopefully be inspired to finish it later.
