Written below are two 250-word micro-fiction stories. Both include my own tweets. The first tweet that I incorporated into the story is: “Today is going to be the longest day ever.” The tweet included in my second micro-fiction is: “I am going to become a professional ice skater haha!” Enjoy!
A Fixed Life
Today is going to be the longest day ever. Alarm goes off, shower and get ready, eat breakfast, get in the car, drive to school, sit in class, come home, and do homework. Every day is just like this. I would say that I have a “fixed” life with no surprises. What would happen if I could play hooky from my own life? Just for one day. Well, today was going to be different. When I get in my car I’m not going to go to school. I’m driving to the beach. I’m going to spend my day lying on the beach absorbing the sun. I’ll eat pizza on the boardwalk, and get fudge for dessert. If it’s warm enough I’ll go in the water, but I’m not making any promises. I’m going to enjoy my day without stress and without school. My day is planned, and I’m ready to go. I turn my car on and head towards the Jersey shore with my favorite song on the radio. I arrive, and I can hear the waves in the distance. The sound is so relaxing. Soon the sun is beaming down on my face, and I smile. Maybe I’ll do this every day; I could make this a routine. Minutes later, I realized that this is not my life. Today will be my personal day. Tomorrow, I’ll be back in school.
The First Date
It was our first date. He asked me if he could plan the entire night, and of course I said yes. “What a sweet guy,” I thought to myself. No guy has ever asked to plan a date for me. On Friday, around seven, he came to pick me up. He walked up to the door to get me, and even opened the car door for me. It was going to be a perfect night! Once we were in the car, he still wouldn’t tell me where he was taking me; he wanted it to be a surprise. About ten minutes later we pulled into the parking lot of an ice skating rink. “I’ve never been ice skating. I’m going to fall and get hurt.” He promised me that everything would be fine. We went inside, got our tickets (he paid!), and put our ice skates on. Here goes nothing. We stepped out onto the ice and it didn’t seem so bad. I started skating and I thought I was getting the hang of it. Then, I fell; landing right on my wrists. The pain was excruciating! “I think my wrists are broken,” I said crying in pain. The workers came over to assist me, the other skaters were cleared from the ice, and an ambulance was called. On our ride to the hospital, I looked at my date and said, “I am going to become a professional ice skater haha!” Yea, it was a perfect date.
