I’m glad I’m not this desperate (yet)

Right now I am beset by college essays, and I’m running close to the deadline. Some essay prompts involve creating fictional stories. Just for fun, I thought I’d see what the story generator over at Seventh Sanctum had to offer. Here are some of it’s suggestions:

The story is about an atheistic dungeon delver, a virtual reality programmer, a conformist linguist, and a duke. It starts in an intergalactic nation. The story begins with someone doing laundry and ends with a failure.
Of course. Doing laundry is such a classic literary catalyst.

The story is about an acrobatic coach who is in love with a baseball player. It starts on a forest planet. The fall of the Soviet Union plays a major part in the story.
I didn’t know they had discovered forest planets back in the 80s. My bad.

This is a killer-on-the-loose with an undercurrent about empowerment and the danger of traditional values. The story is about a biased stockbroker who is in love with an unathletic merchant. It starts in a village in North America. The story ends with someone visiting a doctor.
I wonder who the killer is? Traditional values?

The story is about a nun who is mysteriously connected to a detective. The story begins with an apocalyptic event, climaxes with a birthday preparation, and ends with a slip of the tongue.
Seems sort of anti-climactic, doesn’t it?

If you try it out and get any good ones, feel free to comment :)
