Hello everyone! Wow, I can't believe I made it to fifty stories. Only two more to go, and I'll have fulfilled my challenge! That's pretty exciting. This week's story is a light, humorous sci-fi story. I hope you enjoy it!
Title: Good Morning, Mr. President
Warnings: mild bad language
Summary: Nineteen-year-old college student Kyle Turnpike and the President of the United States have much more in common than they thought.
Length: ~3,300 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. Genre is primarily sci-fi and humor. Also, a brief disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how the White House works, so please excuse any plot holes.
My goal: To write one short story a week for a year for a total of 52 short stories. If you like reading and/or seeing people challenge themselves, this is a good blog to follow!

Story #41 - Reason #1673985
Hi everybody! This week's story is a light-hearted sci-fi one about a robot who falls in love. It was inspired by an episode of the TV show How I Met Your Mother that included these lines: "The robot found love/Confusing my circuitry/My software's been hacked."
I hope you enjoy this story!
Title: Reason #1673985
Warnings: robots with feelings, a lot of numbers
Summary: CleanBot #33422 has been malfunctioning lately and he's not sure why.
Length: ~1,800 words
Notes: Third person point of view, past tense. Genre is sci-fi and romance and probably a little parody.

Story #3 - The End of the World?
First, I'd like to thank everyone who read and commented on my second story. Your kind comments make me smile and give me the strength to keep this blog going! Second, this third story is pretty intense - just a warning. I wouldn't recommend it to any young children, it can get pretty dark! Also, I wrote this story in past tense, which I don't use a lot. I might've slipped into present tense on accident (if I did, please let me know!).
Disclaimer: I don't know anything about what would happen if an asteroid hit the earth, so this is not scientifically accurate. I also know very little about Tibet or Buddhism, so if I make any errors, I apologize.
Now for the story info!
Title: The End of the World As We Know It (again, I'd appreciate suggestions)
Warnings: Graphic imagery of death, bodies, injury, etc., a panic attack, the end of the world
Summary: The aftermath of an asteroid hitting the earth told by one of the few survivors.
Length: ~ 4,000 words
Notes: Third person point of view, past tense. Genre is sci-fi, I guess, because it's an apocalyptic story.
As usual, I'd really appreciate it if you would read my story and leave a comment. I hope you enjoy the story!
