STORY STARTER
Write a story in which your main character's heroic actions actually make a situation worse.
You can write in any genre (the 'heroic action' doesn't have to be superhero style!) but try to think about realistic ways that good intentions could turn out badly.
Can You Hire Me?
I applied for an interview today with my employer. He seemed like a nice guy . I walked over and gave him a really strong handshake . I had accidentally squeezed his hand.It broke.
Did my employer just piss his pants?
Is he scared of me now?
“Hire me , or I’ll squeeze your hand again.” I said menacingly. He answered back , stuttering while having a high pitched voice,
“H-h-how would you like to start today sir?”
“I am hired now. Sweet.”
“Um just just sign these documents!”
“Thank you.”
