Warm up- 259

Where is this?
The location is in Kansas in a gold cave, they are going on a tour to see gold and other kinds of rocks. The morning that they are is cold and steamy, it rained the night before so everything is sticky and damp.

Who are they?
This is Jenna who is married to Danny. They just got married 2 days and are stopping in Jenna's home town before they head off the their honey moon in the Dominican Republic. Jenna has long brown hair that almost touches her butt, she is skinny but very strong. You can tell Jenn works out by the creases in her shoulders under her tank top. Danny is really tall he is about 6'2, he has slick back shoulder length hair, with even bigger muscles that Jenna.

What problem do they face together?
The problem they are facing together is that as they were in the gold mind they heard a crack in the wall of the rock, of course they weren't the only people in there, they had their very short blonde, she only spoke when it was her turn and never took initiative at work, she was very reserved. Her name was Anna. Once all 3 heard the crack Danny knew it didn't sound good but Anna knew that it was time for all tours to end so she tried to gather everyone us to get out of the mountain. All the other tour guides ignored her and this is when Anna screamed and made everything worse. When Anna screamed at everyone in the mountain her voice was so pitchy she made the crack even bigger. Big pieces of rocks were falling from above, and everyone was trying to find an exit.

What problem arises between them?
The problem that arises is that once the rocks start to fall Jenna and Danny run but as they are running a rock falls on Jenna's ankle and she can't get up. Danny turns around and struggles to pick the boulder, the veins in Danny's arm and neck start popping and sweat is running down his forehead and back. Jenna is screaming in pain. Once Danny finally pulls it off he is out of breath, he looks pale and sweaty, Jenna sees this, she gets in front of Danny grabs his hand and tells him to follow her.

What is the story?
Once they get out of the mountain the police are outside waiting, one police man is fighting with a very distraught mother, her son is stuck inside and the police wont let her go back in. Jenna looks at Danny before he even said anything, she knew her new husband wasn't going to walk away knowing a little boy was stuck inside. Jenna turned around and kissed her pale, sweaty husband and said "go get him baby". Danny smiled and kissed Jenna hard, he turned around and ran back in,  Jenna limped behind the yellow caution tape and waited eagerly for her husband. Danny inside was sweating and his back was cramping from breathing so hard, he found the 4 year old blonde boy crying right before you could go down the stairs, Danny picked him up and started running. He tripped over a rock on the ground and fell dropping the boy. Danny broke his arm he was rolling around in pain, he looked over at the boy got to his feet. He scooped the boy up with one arm and sort of waddled out. Once he saw the light outside the cave he put the boy down and told him to run. Danny passed out, he woke up to Jenna dragging him outside the tunnel. Just as he looked up he saw the mountain begin to fall. Danny saw this and then everything went black...

Try This 6.2

Karen and Danny were just about finishing their vacation in the mountains, they both were in the army but took their last 2 days of tour to and see something beautiful after all the negative things they had to see, and all the death they had to breath in, it stung their noses. Danny a tall army sergeant bald and 6 freckles that were spread across his tired under eyes, when Danny arrived at the base 6 months ago he was a healthy glowing father of two, now he was a pale, slim, warn out man who just wanted his wife. Danny could just see Karen's light brown braid under her camo hat, Karen was very short, you could she the creases in her shoulders from her muscles. This was Karen's second tour and she loved every second of it, but being that there was 2 days left in their last tour and all she wanted to do was return home safe to her girlfriend. Karen was ready to turn around and go back to base a half an hour before their life was about to change forever. Danny heard a groan, it didn't sound like a human groan, but it was a sound they would never forget. Karen wanted to turn back her backpack was heavy and her lower back was stinging, she felt the sweat dripping down her back. Danny of course, wanted to investigate, so as they moved forward Danny stepped around rocks and grass patches every so closely, but the one rock he accidently stepped was a land mine that exploded and sent him and Karen flying to the edge of the mountain. When both came to, Karen was badly bruised, a concussion, but could ultimately walk, she had a gun in her bag hearing the steps of the enemy coming forward but no ammo. Danny knew he had lost a lot of blood, losing half his leg he was in extreme pain. Karen knew Danny had ammo in his bag if he gave it to her she could run back to base and get help, doing this of course would mean that Danny would be left to fend for himself. When Karen reached for his ammo Danny grabbed her arm and that's when Karen feels her neck get hot and stiff, she feels something warm, and sticky dripping down her back, this time it wasn't sweat. When she opened her eyes half her body was over the mountain and Danny was hanging her their, holding her life in his hands.

Try This 5.7

I woke up this morning in the bar, after hours with spit hanging out of the corner of my mouth. I was confused, I was tired, and I was about to throw up. I didn't remember why I was sitting in this corner dirty bar stool. The air was filled with stale Marlboro light and Bud light that expired about a month ago. I was confused why Brittney Spears was playing with 8 bikers playing darts. When I woke up with red watery eyes, and then I looked down to my lap and there my wedding ring. Stupid bitch, stupid, stupid, stupid bitch. She cheated on me but is throwing me to the curb. I stood up to use the bathroom and that's when I noticed how drunk I really was, the bathroom floor was stained with loss and regret. The tile was supposed to be white but was now a pale yellow, all the stalls had no locks and the one sink that worked was leaking yellow water. When I walked up to the cracked mirror with LGBT sticker on it and then I realized something, I wasn't crying because I was sad my wife cheated on me I was crying because I can be my happy-go-lucky self. I was gay and I wasn't able to really be who I was supposed too, I was always ashamed. my bruised, hard working fingers were sticky and now bleeding from peeling the LGBT sticker off the mirror. I put the sticker on my black and grey t-shirt that had a hole in the sleeve and a faded "I'm with her" shirt from our honeymoon. For the first time since '09 I can finally say that I was happy. I wiped someone's spit and possible gum off the cracked mirror and smiled at myself. When the bathroom door slammed behind me I felt my heart hurt, I took a deep breath that pierced my lungs, I knew that the stingy, and stagnant air was about to change my life once I signed my bill tab.

Try This 4.2

The bottom of pocketbooks are a very serious vacuum, they just attract anything they possibly can to make your shoulder hurt by adding just a few more pounds of junk into it. To start with the first layer of junk which is the more important stuff, this will include the wallet with about thirty pennies that you are to lazy to count out so it will just keep collecting. Next is the keys with the multiple amounts of keychains and keys to houses you don't know whos house they go to so you cant throw them out. The next layer is all those samples that people hand you in the mall the hand cream packets, receipts to things you bought that you wanted to forget about, the hair brush, the hair tie that was your favorite one but the bag took that love from you. Once you get to the bottom layer that's where it starts to get a little messy, this is the layer you try to avoid at all cost. You reach to the bottom of your pocketbook and you can find anything that you wont ever need or shouldn't be in your bag ever, this can include the loose pieces of hair from the brush, pens that may have possibly broken or are missing a pen cap so they are drawing all over the bottom of your bag, open candy that is attracting all the crumbs making the candy uneatable, that gum pack that has one piece of gum left, and more importantly the crumbs of food that you may have eaten in the past that wanted to stick around to see the show. The pocketbook can be considered a vacuum because it sucks everything possible to the bottom that you don't need or want, it the forgotten world of pocketbooks.
