So I know this might sound a little ridiculous, but nowadays you can't be too sure. Someone left a pumpkin at my mailbox, and I have no idea who it was. I've left it sitting there for a few days because I'm afraid to move it. I'm afraid someone might have rigged it with an explosive, or something similar. I've heard stories about people opening random packages left at their doorstep, and getting killed because of it. I think something similar happened with the bombing in Texas, not too long ago. What should I do with the pumpkin? I looked around it and it doesn't seem to have been cut open to place something inside. But then again, the opening could be on the bottom of the pumpkin. This has never happened before, and I'm scared that some lunatic might have put an explosive in it. I've asked my neighbors about it, and they have no idea who put it there.

I have to write a romantic relationship story about myself or something that I've witnessed. But I have no experiences even remotely close to that. I'm 19 right now. Can someone help me come up with a realistic fake story, maybe something you have experienced. It's generally 2-3 pages double spaced. But it could be longer. I can't come up with something without it seeming very fake.

What are some books that leave you unsettled after you finish them?

Best answer: Moby Dick

A girl is visiting a castle when she's transported back in time by some horror story style monster. She ends up in the same castle, but in 1543, and in the ladies bedroom which is the room she was in when she was transported. That lady screams and the girl is taken to the dungeons. Her school had been learning about the family who used to live in the castle and she remembers the King was going to be assassinated. She warns them, and as a reward the King lets her be a servant for his daughter. There are twin daughters, and one goes missing. Most of the rest of the book is spent trying to work out what happened to the other daughter. A man is murderwd. They find the missing daughters diary and discover that the man was secretly her lover. When they do find the daughter, it turns out the guy kidnapped her and tortured her until she was almost dead before performing some satanic ritual that keeps her in limbo forever. So she can't die, but she isn't really human any more. The monster gives the girl who was sent back in time a choice between staying to help her friends, or going home. She (like no heroine, ever) chooses to go home. When she gets there, she looks up the new history of the castle and finds that after the human daughter was found mysteriously murderwd, and the other daughter was still missing, the family abandoned the castle completely. Does it sound like a good story or nah? I haven't really explained it very well, but this is basically it.

Best answer: Situational Irony

Best answer: These days, it's simple to publish it or print it. But first you'll have to write it.

Quit wanting to do a thing, and simply do it. Imagine if someone said to you with a sad sigh, "My whole life, I've wanted to try eating raw hamburger." And they are whatever age you are. What would you suggest to them about that lifelong wish?

Okay so I’m writing a story and one of my characters has a dad who works for the cia so I want to know what rank would he be he’s about in his late 30’s early 40’s so if anyone could tell me what are the different jobs and ranks in the cia that a person of his age would be it would be a real help to me

So far I am thinking of writing for a perspective of a character that is suspicious that there is a homeless person living in an abandoned home nearby. The main character wants to help the person

The story was on CreateSpace and Amazon Kindle for maybe 2 months before I yanked it because I wanted to redo part of it. It didn't sell so I don't think anyone even saw it. Will a publisher care that it was self published? Do I have to tell them I self published? Will they find out if I don't tell them?
