Character must choose between betraying someone they love or betraying their own sense of honor. Nah, that's too complicated. OK, there's a really big pimple.

         Matilda is a teenager going to a public high school. She has many friends, but the closest friend is Sam. Sam and Matilda did everything together. They were in the same clubs, lived on the same street, and wrote form the school paper. There was nothing that they would not do for each other. No one would insult one without having to deal with both.

         Matilda thought that she knew all that there was to know about Sam. That is until she walks into the girls room during third period. Sam was standing beside the sink. Matilda had to look twice to make sure that she saw what she thought she did. Sam was standing with a needle about to go between her toes. What should she do? What could she do?

         Matilda spoke to Sam. Sam was ashamed, and started crying. Matilda ran up and took the needle, when the school Algebra teacher walks in. Both Sam and Matilda were shocked. What is she going to answer when the teacher asks the definite question.

         “Matilda! You can not be doing what it looks like you are doing!” yells the teacher while grabbing the needle from her hand. She guides Matilda to the principle's office. There her parents were called. Her family did not believe that she was not doing drugs. They called a rehab center for teens.

         Matilda's mother took her to the building. She had no idea of what was about to happen. The lady took her to a room of teenagers. There she listened to them tell drugs has left them with nothing. One boy had killed his mother in a car while under the effect of drugs. A girl lost her baby and family doing Cocaine. Matilda sat there listening. She had tears running down her eyes.

         The lady returns and takes Matilda to the bathroom. She hands the girl a container. Matilda gave them a urine sample.          

         The next day Matilda stands in front of her parents and principle. “your drug test came out clean.” said the principle.”You can not return to class until we know who the needle belongs to.”

         Matilda finally tells the whole true story. Sam is expelled from school. Her parents send her to an inpatient rehab. Sam would not expect any visits from her friend. Matilda's letters returned unopened.

         When Sam returned home, it was so long until she would speak to Matilda. When she did it was not nice. After all Matilda had betrayed her.

         It was years later that the two girls found themselves in the same town again. Sam broke down when she saw Matilda. Sam had a daughter that was on pills, and she had to choose putting her into a rehab. The girls found their friendship again.









Write a scene where he is a prisoner of war and see how long before he breaks. Doesn't matter if you never use the scene.



To think outside the box. If you can't imagine aliens taking over the eighteenth-century manor you've written, imagine how those aliens could work as a metaphor.

Jacob could not believe what he had seen. The light spooked his horse away from him. He was left in the brightest light that he had ever seen. Then he began to float up to it. Now he is in a dark room, strapped to a table, and sounds of chatter accompanied by the humming of motors.

         Jacob could not understand what the voices were saying. They seemed to want to know something. What did he know that they would want?Electric had not been invented yet, and these people (if they were people) had a light brighter than the sun.

         Lights begin to show shadowed creatures. The moved slow on three legs. One of them came and chattered with its (finger, I think) in Jacob's face. It was determined to get what it wanted, but what was it that it wanted?

         Finally, one of the aliens brought something into the room. It was a human child. The figures lead the child gently to Jacob. Jacob doesn't know what to think about this. He takes the child by the hand.

         The leader or captain pushes a section of his uniform. This changed his language into English.

“This child is the future of your planet. He is a hybrid of our genetics, both human and stark. Your world is going to be destroyed by the sun. This child can with stand heat and water. It can reproduce by its self. He is the survival of your world.”



         Jacob wakes by the outside gates of the castle. He was thinking that he had had too much to drink the night before. Then he sees the sleeping child. He knows that he has to raise the future of the world.
