I want to have a writing contest

ok so whoever can write the best short story based off of this short little blurb will win

to be honest I'm really doing this because i want to read something interesting

"The sleep lingered in his eyes no matter how hard he tried to rub it out. It was a dull Tuesday morning, but not in the least average. Nothing special was planned for this day, but the most astonishing occurance of his life was about to unfold and he had no idea of it. "

Oliver's eyes longed to weigh down like anchors. He rubbed them repeatedly, but the drowsy feeling still haunted him. The Tuesday morning was gray and gloomy from a poundng rain shower outside. His usual routine was typical with nothing highlighted in particular. Little did he know that it would all change thanks to a peculiar man in a black trenchcoat and a top hat who obscured himself while analyzing Oliver.

The sleep lingered in his eyes no matter how hard he tried to rub it out. It was a dull Tuesday morning, but not in the least average. Nothing special was planned for this day, but the most astonishing occurance of his life was about to unfold and he had no idea of it.
It started off like any other, with him going to school. Jak hopped on the bus and began his journey. As they cruised along he chatted to the others around him. What he didn't expect was the bus to suddenly come to a screeching halt. A collective group of pretty much everyone on the bus began to get off, but sat down when they realized this wasn't their school.
It was another bus stop, one that wasn't usually on their route. The doors opened and a hulking figure came on. Jak froze. That was the guy he owed money, money he forgot, he would be pummelled. Jak tried to clear the sleep from his eyes again.
A sea of sick and twisted ways to torture him swirled in Jak's mind. The usual throwing him in the trash can, or giving him a swirlie wouldn't cut it for this guy. He would kick him so hard he flew around the Earth and landed back where he was. Jak had to do something fast.
Or, at least, he thought he did. Soon the bus once again came to the screeching halt the students had been familiarized with. They didn't even bother heading out. The bus driver yelled, "I don't drive that route! What was I thinking?" and promptly had the ginormous body of the bully leave. Once again rubbing it, the sleep fell out of Jak's eye.
That is all that is truly eventful that happened to Jak that day. While this was not the most astonishing ocurrunce of his life, it was definitely the most interesting of his day. Nobody really knows or cares about the true astonishing occurence. It has been guessed he got a date, which would be truly shocking for a kid like Jak.

The sleep lingered in his eyes no matter how hard he tried to rub it out. It was a dull Tuesday morning, but not in the least average. Nothing special was planned for this day, but the most astonishing occurance of his life was about to unfold and he had no idea of it. When he was still trying desperately to wake up, Anton heard a sharp knock on his front door. He climbed out of bed and slowly walked down the main hall of his mansion until he reached the entrance. When he finally dragged the door open, a short, chubby man was in front of him. He looked like he was wheezing from walking up the hill where his house sat and wore a blue uniform with a badge.
"Hello officer," Anton said, "What seems to be the trouble?"
"Mister-" he glanced at a sheet of paper in his hand as if he had trouble remembering Anton's last name,"Griswald, is it? Yes, that sounds right, Mr. Griswald, I'm afraid we have to place you under arrest."
"That's proposterous! What have I done wrong?" Anton said in disbelief.
"Oh, you know what you've done."
"No," He said, annoyed, "I do not know what I 'did wrong'."
"Fine, if you want to play dumb, I'll tell you.You're under arrest for murdering your stepbrother."
Anton was speechless. "You mean..."
"Oh come on, Mr. Griswald, you know you killed him."
"No, sir, you are most definitely crazy, and I wish you a good day," He yelled, then slammed the door in the officer's face.
Anton sat in his parlor, his mind filled with too many thoughts. The police thought he killed Lucas, but he knew he didn't. Either way, Lucas was dead, and he still couldn't believe the fact.
After three hours of this, he started hearing sirens in the distance. They got louder and louder, until it sounded like they were coming from right in front of his house. He knew that the officer must have sent more cops. Anton heard a loud, amplified voice say, "Mr. Griswald, you're under arrest."
Two cops kicked down his door. Anton knew this wasn't going to turn out well. He heard the click of handcuffs locked around his wrists.
"You have the right to remain silent"
"Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law"
He was led out the empty doorway and into a police car. It was like all those movies Anton had seen, except this was no movie. This was real.

have you ever seen a bus?

bananaman114 · 2012-02-11 11:52:06

if they were going to arrest a boy-murderer (which of course Anton is not) they wouldn't use a HELICOPTER

or SWAT

probably just a couple of cops
that's my only problem with that story!
