Ok, I'm starting the end of the world challenge (yeah I know, the due date is like today, but I'm kind of a SUPER procrastinator and I haven't really gotten around to putting the story down on paper).
Prologue:
The president's phone was ringing off the hook.
"Laurie!!" He cried out for his assistant. "Laurie! Help!"
A young, quirky woman sprinted into his giant office, searching for a danger.
'What's wrong Mr. President?"
"Laurie, what's going on!?" He demanded as he tried to get a phone conference going on with the other members of the oval office.
"I-I don't know sir!" She replied, "There's something going on in a small town named 'Ferryport Landing'."
"Where in the world is this 'Flareypart' place?"
"North of New York sir."
"Mr. President?" came a voice through the phone.
"Mr. Alker?" He asked, "Is that you? Can you tell me what's going on?"
"Well, I'm not completely sure..." replied Mr. Alker, "Some disease broke out or something, I've sent some scientists in to investigate, we're not letting anyone out of the town."
"Good job handling things there Alker. Keep down the fort there until we get things under control.
"Yes sir Mr. President." Said Mr. Alker before hanging up.
The president sat back in his chair, massaging his temples.
"Er... Mr. President?" Asked Laurie, watching her leader worriedly. He was normally calm and collected.
"Oh, right." He sighed. "Can you go get me some... caffeine? I have a feeling I'm going to need a lot of it."
Laurie nodded once and turned away from the president.
"Yes sir."
Little did they know, it would take a lot more than caffeine to fix this problem.
Yeah I know, it was really short... and it sucked... I'll do better on my other chapters, I promise!
