A famous fiction writer named Ashley wrote beautiful stories. One night she was writing about a character named Robin; she described him as a very attractive man of her town, rich, and looking for a bride to get married.

She wrote her name as the bride as a draft for her story. She left her story in the middle, where a fight was happening between the two characters.

She slept and when she woke up in the morning, a stranger came to her house. He said that he came here accidently.

She said, “It’s okay.”

Then, she realized he was exactly like the character she wrote last night and this incident was one of the scenes of her story. She ran towards her room, searching for her manuscripts. She couldn’t find them!

Tonight she wrote about the happy relationship between her and Robin. The exact same things were happening that were written in the script. She was very happy with the things happening in her life, but one night she forgot to write the story.

The next day, she had a fight with Robin. Then she realized that if she will not write the story for even one night, her relationship with Robin with get worse and worse. In order to continue this relationship she has to write the story every night or the consequences will be high.

From that day, she thought Robin was a fictional character which she made up, he didn’t actually love her. She didn’t want a made up character to love her, which was actually in her mind.

She wanted a man who would love her with all his heart and would accept her because he want to accept her and want to be with her, not a guy she is making him love her.

From that night she stopped writing, and went to another country, broke her connection with Robin and soon he disappeared because there was no other script for him to follow anymore.

Writing Prompt: An elderly couple spends all their money on lottery tickets, and their three grown children can’t agree on what to do with them.

Once in the city of ‘great valley of laugher’ there lived an elderly couple and their three grown children. They always spent a good amount of quality time together and had never fought. On a fine day or so, the elderly couple were passing in the market and found a lottery stall, and they wanted to try their luck but were also scared about whether they would win or lose so they had a plan for buying all the lottery tickets but didn’t have enough money, so they brought a lottery ticket and spent all their money on that.

They went home happily to share this with their children and to see their reactions.

 “What???” screamed Riya.

“All our money is spent!” Santhosh raised his voice in anger. 

“Wait, Wait, don’t scream!” said Maria.

Riya said, “What do you mean by ‘Don’t scream’, are you even understanding that they spent all money!”

“Exactly!” Santhosh said, “And now we have nothing! Not even a penny!”

Maria said, “Wait!”

Seeing all this, the elderly couple was upset that their kids were having a fight, and tears rolled down their cheeks.

Maria saw everything and ran to their parents and consoled them and said, “Don’t worry, now we will go to the lottery shop and give this ticket back to them and get our money back.”

Riya and Santhosh finally understood that screaming and shouting wouldn’t help and what Maria said was the only option. They went to the shop but found it closed and now they didn’t know what to do.

Santosh said, “It’s fine, we will wait here till the shop opens and then we will exchange the ticket for money.”

They waited the whole night near the shop.

Finally, when it was 6 a.m. in the morning, there was a newspaper kept on the desk. Riya took it and read it, and screamed in happiness and checked the lottery a hundred times and said to her family, “Wow! We have won the lottery!”
