15 ideas for stories

Hi all, sorry I just forgot to post yesterday (now that classes are over, days are very confusing). Here are 15 ideas for stories. Some are just lines and some are even smaller sparks, but here we go:

  1. I guess you could say I was a vigilante (to follow a one page bit that I have).
  2. A mystery where a cadaver dog signals behind a couch at a crime scene. This is used to pursue the boyfriend of the victim, who did kill her, but killed her in the bedroom. He is utterly baffled as to how the dog signaled there, but it turns out he'd had the carpet redone to get rid of evidence, but someone was killed in the carpet warehouse.
  3. Blood sniffing dogs signal by freezing in place. However, this isn't because of their training, it's because the spirit of the deceased is talking to them.
  4. 11 people in a van driving around in an empty apocalypse wasteland.
  5. Creepy dystopia inspired by "The Ants Go Marching."
  6. In a world where you have a one true nemesis, one person goes on a quest to find their nemesis because they think it'll give their life meaning.
  7. Choose your own adventure vampire story. Will you become a vampire. Do you want to be a vampire?
  8. Snow White and Persephone crossover story.
  9. Camel Corps historical fiction.
  10. There were actually two different Grover Clevelands.
  11. Thomas Jefferson/John Adams fiction.
  12. Story inspired by my creepy dream with dusty bones in boxcars.
  13. Sentient Cinderella slipper.
  14. Picture book about having divorced parents being normal (would not be able to do the pictures myself).
  15. Beauty and the Beast version where the father does not go to send his daughter to the beast.
Let me know what you think!

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
