[Nina]

i need to write a short story. it has to include a cell phone
(which has to play a big role) a café and the newspaper.

i need ideas, any ideas. i just cant think of any. i googled
a few terms, for pictures, but thats wasnt much inspiration.

even if its stupid, tell me anyway, it might give me ideas!!

thanks in advance. and please hurry...please?!

Someone reads something very important (accident, plot, mystery whatever), contacts (person, friend, relative, associate) with cell-phone and they meet at the café. I'm the quickest there is.

Creative writing of some sort? You're supposed to come up with your own story...

pff no it's not creative writing, her assignment said "go online and steal someone's idea. and then write it down and hand it in."

Don't take school so seriously.

ah, thanks...hmm. just that the cell phone needs to play
an even bigger role. i dunno how to explain...it has to be
a german "novelle", which does NOT equal the english term
"novel". its basically a short story without much babble.
has a proper beginning, a proper ending, and it tells the
story of something IMPORTANT in a persons life.

i just cant explain better.

normally i wouldnt mind, but not if the teacher tells us
TODAY that we have to do it for TOMORROW. i have a life
too you know, i cant just sit at home all day and think
of something creative.

just shut up. i'm annoyed.

I know what a novelle is, we have it in Danish, and it comes from the Italian, we just learned all that crap with Goethe and whatever. I suppose the cell-phone can have a very important text message saved on it, and it gets lost along the way.

[Nina]

shit, Goethe. i read too much by him :[

hm yeah...gotta start writing and keep checking this topic.

[wheelchairman]

Yeah I told you last year Goethe sucked or something. Didn't I? hehe

someone finds a cell phone and finds the person it belongs to and they end up in a relationship of some sort..? all because of finding/returning the phone.

sorry, i'm not creative. i'm more of an essay person. =\

[Eccentric Sara]

OK...ideas......Someone is sitting in a cafe looking through the paper and comes to the section where it has birthdays/deaths etc. They read that a close friend has died. They are very upset. A minute after reading this,the person who is supposed to be dead walks into the cafe and sits down! Before they can go over to speak to the person,they have walked out of the cafe again. They try to ring the person using the mobile phone,and the supposedly dead person answers!!!! Phew,they think- he/she's not dead! Later on in the day the person goes home and rings the "dead" friend again with the cell phone. An upset relative answers saying that they are dead and gives the date of the funeral. Confused they cry themself to sleep.

The next day in the cafe again,they ring the same number to check something about the funeral, and the "dead" friend answers again! What's going on ? Are they dead or not? Has the cafe got something to do with this mysterious confusion? Or could it be the mobile phone.....?

Yeah,hope you like it and that its helpful! :)

do what I do make up stuff when u get to school dont even write it down just fake everything or get a blank peice of paper like ur reading off it and say stupid stuff if u have great grades say "Im so so sorry i was coming to school and it flew out of my hand and fell on the ground and was destroyed by a car"

Hmm... how long does this story have to be?

Personally, I'd have a Phone Booth-like scenario. Someone's in a café, they're being blackmailed over the phone. Perhaps they're being blackmailed into revealing their affair to their [romantic] partner, who just happens to be in the same café. The newspaper thus acts as a cover for the individual (which would of course come very close to being blown on several occasions) while they try to get out of the situation. Obviously there'd need to be some force behind keeping them there... a gun is a bit cliché... maybe the threat is that if they don't do it they'll reveal that the guy being blackmailed has committed corporate fraud (or maybe even covered up a murder in the past...) or something. It would probably then stand to reason that the blackmailer would be a close friend/family-member/dedicated ex of the partner...

I dunno.

Doesn't suck. Sounds pretty much like German 20th century literature. The style, I mean. It just needs action now. The beginning is alright.

Doesn't suck at all, I like how you put the bit about the phone IN the newspaper...that's smart & original!!

[Eccentric Sara]

Didn't anyone like my story idea? I didn't think it was too bad.....

Wow! That's German! Sorry i didn't really look the first time and i thought it was some weird language! Lol!

From what i can make out it doesn't seem to suck.

Yeah, i liked your's - it seemed pretty damn cool but i wouldn't be able to continue it at all, it's just go horribly wrong or summat.

[Nina]

thanks everybody!!

Eccentric Sara, i cant believe you put that death-thing
into the newspaper...i did too, but without reading your
idea :O that kinda scares me. lol.

it turned out as a murder-act. i still dont like it, but thanks
for the compliments :x

and man, i fear it isnt a Novelle. i had no idea that its so
difficult to write one. no wonder hardly anybody does it
lately.

teh.
