The six word end
“Leslie Marie!” Bianica Marie -the editor of the West high newspaper- screamed, “Oh Bianica you’re back!” Leslie said turning around in her swivel chair, “yes I’m back, and as soon as I get back what do I see? This, I see my newspaper. And what have you done to it?” Here Leslie started getting worried, Bianica had been in Montréal with her father for about three months, and Bianica had left her baby –the newspaper- with Leslie. “Well-“ Leslie started to explain but Bianica cut her off. “these aren’t even articles! ‘Three women create perfect artificial intelligence’ that isn’t even true! What did you think this was a cheap blog!” “but you told me I could do fiction.” Leslie said “yes but not just fiction! I want some real articles to. And at leased you could tell the real story! This is just a bunch of head lines!” Leslie couldn’t say anything to that, it was just a bunch of headlines. “what have you got here?” Bianica asked looking down at the piece her best friend was working on. “See this has potential.” Bianica said, picking up the piece of paper and reading it aloud. “Cockroaches there, neighbor complains, police called.”
I love the idea of a character who writes only headlines when they should be writing full stories. Hilarious idea.
