    so, this is probably quite odd, but i have a school assignment due soon to write a short story [only a few pages, really] . the theme is a kind of butterfly affect thing - one event, leading to a bigger event, leading to an even bigger one... [for expample: lighting a cigarette, throwing the match away, the match lights a curtain on fire, the fire on the curtain catches and the entire house is on fire]
    does anyone have any ideas as to what i could write?

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me some critique on this?


Main characters;
Marisa Smith-Nurse-Young mother of Katrina-pregnant(Dosen't know it yet in this chapter)-28
Theme song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BsLd4Y0 ... e0W0UupxMh

Katrina Smith-2-theme song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtkWTnn0 ... re=mh_lolz Image

Samantha White-18-Katrina's babysitter- epileptic-Theme song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnmWwude ... e0W0UupxMh Image

Marisa's docter-Theme song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrXIQQ8P ... e0W0UupxMh Image

Chapter one;
I woke up to Katrina crying. I quickly got up and rushed to her room. She was laying on the carpet beside her bed.” What’s wrong?” I asked her. “ I fell of my bed.” She told me."My ankle hurts." She said. I picked her up and looked at her ankle. It was very swollen. '' Lets get you to the doctor.'' I said and carried her out to the car. I gently sat her I her car seat and strapped her in. I got in and turned on the car.
 
 
-Two hours later-
I got out of the car and picked up Katrina. "Come on, lets go in." I said and walked into the house. " The doctor said your ok but you can't put any weight on it for 24 hours." I said despite knowing mentioning it was pointless. She'll just forget I said it anyways I thought and carried her to the playroom." Mommy can I have my dolls?" She asked me. "Sure." I said and sat her down on the rug. " I want the one with the Pink hair." She reminded me as I grabbed her doll that she had chosen. " I'm going to go make lunch. " I said and walked to the kitchen. I got some bread and quickly decided to make Katrina a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. I quickly made it and decided to test her and see if she would walk on her broken ankle. "Katrina! Your lunch is ready!" I said. " But you said I can't walk on my ankle!" She yelled and I quickly brought the sandwich to her." Good job." I said and gave it to her. " It's time for your nap." I said when she finished. At that moment I heard a knock on the door and went to get it." Hello." I said as I opened the door and saw Katrina's god mother. "Hello Marisa, I came to see if you needed and help with Katrina." She said and smiled." I don't at the moment, but thank you." I said and closed the door.
Katrina obviously heard me coming because she called for me as soon as I aproached the door of the playroom." You have to carry me to my bedroom." She said and I picked her up. "Hurry up!" She whined as I carried her upstairs." Your bossy." I said and put her into her pink bed." Try not to fall off again." I said and went into my office to call the babysitter. After it rang for a while she answered.
"Hello." She said.
"Hello, when will you be here to watch Katrina, I'm already late." I said.
" I'll be there in ten minutes." She said and hung up before I could respond to what she had said. I walked over to the computer and sat down." Ten new emails." I murmed and quickly read them. Katrina called my name just as I grabbed my car keys. I quickly ran to her room and found her reaching towards a doll that had fallen on the floor. She spoke to me as I picked up the doll. "Mommy why are you so sad?" She asked when she saw me frowning. "I'm not, I just miss your teacher." I said. I quickly went back downstairs when I heard the babysitter come in the house. "Hi." I said to her. "Katrina is upstairs sleeping, Her dinner is on a plate in the fridge for when she gets hungrey. Also she is not allowed to walk on her ankle that has the brace on it." I said and left.
~Samanthas POV~
I listend to Marisa and nodded. ''Ok.'' I said and walked to Katrina's room to cheak on her. "Hi." I said when she sat up. "Where's mwommy?" She asked. "She went to work." I replied and lifted her up into my arms." Are you hungrey?" She yawned. ''No.""I want to go outside." She said. ''It's cold out." I said as I put her in her highchair. ''Now here's your supper." I said sitting it down in front of her. A few moments into her eating the phone rang and I got up to answer it. (The next little bit is just her phone conversation but is still in her POV.)
Me; "Hello."
???; "Is this Marisa Smiths Mother or Father?"
Me; "No, they are both dead."
???; "Is there someone that is closly related to her or is able to pick her up?"
Me; "I am."
???; " She is in room 302."
The line went dead and I quickly put the phone on the hook. I quickly picked Katrina up and assumed it was one of her co-workers that had called. 'But why would they call here if SHE was in the hospital?' I wondered but pushed that thought to the back of my mind as I walked out the door. When I opened my car door I realized that I only had Katrina’s old rear-facing car seat. I quickly put her in it and promised myself I would stop and get her a better one at Wal-mart.
 
The drive passed quickly after we got Katrina’s new car seat. As soon as I stopped the car I got out and grabbed Katrina and ran into the hospital almost frantically.

If I'm not answering, I'm probably at work. I usually get on in the late evening my time (listed timezone below)

Pronouns are they/them and you can call me Starfalling, M, or Morgan. I'm in Pennsylvania which is on EST (CStime -4)

I love trading, although I'm recently back from a long hiatus so I'm not fully up to date on demand. For any current event pets, I’ll only trade them away if I have a double, and I don't trade growing pets Real life got hectic and I somehow missed the whole month of May on here. Looking for all May pets, will keep WL updated as I go

I use bold a lot because it's easier for me to read, since you can't change other people's font size and being zoomed in constantly is annoying

I am a holibomber!
Sig was getting long, my counts have been moved to trade rules

Interesting writing prompt! c: I'd love it if my school could do something along these lines. ^-^ Pah, essays, essays, and- guess what?- more essays!
Perhaps something about how a wildfire is started? Many are started by careless campers who don't tend to their fires (or even worse, heartless people looking for a prank), and have disastrous environmental effects.

I got an entire main part of a novel from my Golden Sword series and the main antagonist for that series from the strangest dream I had a few years back. I also had a dream I wrote down as soon as woke up sometime around March twenty-two through twenty-three this year, thinking it'd make for a great story. A while ago, I read it again, and though, this would make for a terrible story.
Image
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,



That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
