Story #52 - Memories

Well, everybody, this is the end. I can't believe it's been a year since I started this blog, and I can't believe I managed to write fifty-two stories. Soon after this last story, I'm planning to post some stats (the total word count of all my stories, for example) and then a list of the stories I am most proud of. And my next big project is to write a novel! It's for my Senior Project in order to graduate. In the coming weeks, I might post excerpts of my novel. And, of course, when I'm less busy, I will work on editing these stories.

I would like to thank each and every person who read one or more of my stories, and especially the people who commented. I loved hearing what you liked and didn't like, and your comments helped give me the energy to continue writing. I dedicate this last story to all of you. Enjoy! :)

Title: Memories
Warnings: mild, not graphic or violent crime
Summary: Amnesia, conflicting memories, and plenty of mystery.
Length: ~4,450 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. Genre is psychological thriller.

Story #51 - The Napkin Story

Hey everybody! Wow, there's only one story left. Anyway, this week's story goes back a long way. Months ago, I was brainstorming on what story to write that week and my dad suggested that I write a story from the point of view of a napkin. Initially, I dismissed the idea, but it grew on me, and now I've decided to give it a try. I'd love to know what you thought! :)

Title: The Napkin Story
Warnings: none
Summary: A napkin learns a few things about life, security, and what it means to be a napkin.
Length: ~1,650 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. Genre is other.

Story #50 - Good Morning, Mr. President

Hello everyone! Wow, I can't believe I made it to fifty stories. Only two more to go, and I'll have fulfilled my challenge! That's pretty exciting. This week's story is a light, humorous sci-fi story. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: Good Morning, Mr. President
Warnings: mild bad language
Summary: Nineteen-year-old college student Kyle Turnpike and the President of the United States have much more in common than they thought.
Length: ~3,300 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. Genre is primarily sci-fi and humor. Also, a brief disclaimer:  I know next to nothing about how the White House works, so please excuse any plot holes.

Story #49 - Infinite Universes

Hi everyone! This week's story is about the different things a meeting of two people could result in, depending on the circumstances. It goes over different alternate/parallel universes, but not exactly in a sci-fi way. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Title: Infinite Universes
Warnings: none
Summary: A man and a woman and a stalled elevator. Five universes.
Length: ~2,000 words
Notes: Primarily first person point of view, but with large sections of third person/omniscient. Tense is present. Genre includes romance and a bit of sci-fi. I'm going to go with "general".

Story #48 - The Cure For Cancer

Hello everyone. Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2012. This week's story is a bit complicated. I don't know much about Japan or medicine, so I apologize if I got anything wrong. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: The Cure For Cancer (suggestions welcome)
Warnings: threats, slightly gory/sinister research, death, prisoner/hostage situation
Summary: Finding the cure for cancer has never been this complicated.
Length: ~5,000 words
Notes: First person point of view, tense changes between past and present. Genre includes a bit of sci-fi, crime, angst, and other things. I'm going to say it's medicine, because it's about the cure for cancer.
