I had been in jail for 20 years, accused of a murder I didn't commit.
One day, without warning, a guard opened the door of my cell and told me it had been a mistake.
Ten minutes later I was out in the street as a free man.

Before I was out, I got a letter from the guard.

"Meet me outside the strip-club in 30 minutes", had been written across the center of the letter. I glanced across the street towards the club and continued on my journey.

I entered the strip-club, because I didn't know where to go. 30 minutes passed, I was surprised when I saw my old friend, Jay. I greeted him, "Hey dude, how you doing?" He answered me, "Hey, how long you've been there?" It was me who sent to you the message.

I said: "I have been in jail for about 20 years. I watched five Olympic games in prison cell. By the way, last time I met you, before I got caught, you said you had an important thing to tell me. What is that?"

I was climbing a rocky hill. I wanted to enjoy the view from there.

Suddenly snake spoke human language. It said: "Welcome to this holy rocky hill."

The snake kept talking, "Are you all right?"

I felt lightheaded, but my body felt comfortable. Then the snake turned out to be a beautiful lady, It looked like Sailor Moon.

Her five friends come from the Moon. One of friends said, "Hey, do you want to eat the Moon Stone? It is very sweet."

I thought that I had died, because why would I see Sailor Moon on a mountain?

Sailor Moon took me to another place like a desert. Then she said, "You are the one chosen to help our generation survive. I give you this blue diamond to save you from the bad people who want to kill you.

I said: "Really? Wow wow wow!! Are you sure? 100% sure? Does it mean I am one of the Sailor Moon gang members?"

He was wearing a hat which hid his face. His hands were in his pocket, he was holding something inside. My heart beat faster as he approached.

There was a gun in his pocket.

I remembered it had happened before. I put my hand in my purse.

Special Delivery

The pizza boy looked very young, no older than sixteen.
He handed me the pizza, I gave him the money, but he didn't leave.
He said: "Please taste it and let me know what you think."

I looked at the boy, assessed if he were joking or not. Judging from the expression on his face, he was not. I took a slice of pizza and tasted it. The chewy mozzarella cheese melted in my mouth as I chewed the piece on, the spicy pepperoni stung my taste buds.

At first, it seemed the best pizza I had ever tasted. But as I kept on chewing, I realized something was wrong. The pizza boy stared at me as if he was waiting for something.

I felt a piece of paper in my mouth and I pulled it out. He was getting mad at the pizza boy, but he said, "Read the piece of paper!" I answered, "What? Is it a fortune cookie? What was written was, "You will be a rich guy".

I read again what was written on the paper. I couldn't believe my eyes "You will be a rich guy." The pizza boy was smiling at me, he was saying the words that were written on the paper and added, "You are the lucky costumer of the month, you can claim your prize at the office tomorrow morning at 8 am. However, if you are late, the prize will be forfeited."

He had written about a restaurant called "Heaven". He said that it was the best restaurant he had ever tried. Not only the food was delicious, after the meal he felt so good that he had decided to stay in the restaurant forever.
I clicked the link.

I saw some photos of the restaurant. It was very clean. They had many kinds of food, and it was not expensive.

I thought that I wanted to try that restaurant too.

Then I went home. I met my mother and told her about the restaurant . She told me it seemed a good place, and she asked me to take her to the restaurant soon.

Then, I asked her which food she wanted to try.

She told me: "I will try the soup and spicy meat." I answered: "I will take you to the restaurant tomorrow."

It happened a long time ago, but Tina can remember it as if it were yesterday.
It was late, she was getting ready to go to sleep, when Paula, her neighbor, knocked at her door.
She couldn't find Fluffy, her cat. She was desperate. She asked Tina to help her look for Fluffy around the neighborhood.

Tina told her neighbor: "Oh, I have not seen Fluffy for a couple of days". She thought that it was important for Tina to find her pet.

Tina felt the desperation in Paula's voice. She grabbed her coat and went with Paula to look for Fluffy. The two women were searching the neighborhood in the middle of the night. They were calling Fluffy's name in the quietness of darkness.

Tina spent hours calling Paula´s cat in Spanish, but she was wondering whether the "beast" could understand her...as Fluffy was used to English. Tina though that the situation is was surreal.

There was a small house nearby, but Tina didn't like it because it looked creepy. Near the house they could hear a sound, like a cat's scratching, but they weren't sure. They tried to approach the small house, even if they were afraid. "Fluffy... come out, my good kitty". Suddenly, the shadow of a cat appeared. "Oh look Paula, Fluffy is there. The kitty came close to them.

Paula held her dear cat in her arms and said: "Thank you very much Tina, I´m so happy." After all what had happened, the two girls were tired and they decided to go back home. But before they left that old house they could see a dark shadow, and it seemed to be a man who was slowly coming toward them.

Space shock

I woke up yesterday in this tiny space capsule.
I don't know how I ended up here. I don't remember anything, not even my name.
I don't know how long I've been here, but it looks like I am far away from any known planet.
Luckily, I can access the computer. I am going to look for any clue about the reason I am here and where I'm going to.

The computer screen shows the message: "Can I help you?" And there is a text input box.

I type on the keyboard "what happened?" in the hope that the computer will be able to explain my situation, while I try to remember how I happened to be up here in space, in this cramped little pod.

The computer shows "error". Oh my God, I hit the floor, my head hurts. A handsome guy's face comes up in my mind. He seems like an old friend, but who is he?

One day, Lisa received an email with the subject line: "The best opportunity of your life".
It said: "Do you want to become happy, rich, famous and loved? Click on the link to find out how."

Travel to Mars: possible using reusable rockets?

Story writing class: Sunday at 7am PDT
At the end you can read the story before corrections.

Mariko is a girl who is a little different from other girls.
Her family died when she was born, and left her a lot of money.
She has never gone to school. She has spent her time studying on wikipedia instead and looking at the sky and stars.
She has spent the last 5 years building a rocket, and today she is ready to blast off into space.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

Her friend Elon Musk asks her: "Can your rocket be used multiple times?
She answers: "I thought it was impossible. Do you think it's possible?"
He says: "Yeah, have you ever seen the SpaceX web site? Our company posted a video about rocket REUSABILITY"
Mariko answers: "Oh I remember it, it's a very nice idea. We can make the rocket by more cheaply! I heard NASA was so surprised about the SpaceX's reusable rocket idea".

NASA recently announced that, due to the global economic recession, it is seeking to reduce costs. A reusable rocket would certainly contribute to a reduction in costs. It is hard to say at this stage how much money a reusable rocket would save.

According to Elon Musk's estimate, the cost saving would be more than 70%.
One of the reason NASA can not bring a human to Mars is the cost problem. When NASA's head heard about his plan, he asked Elon Musk: "How long do you think will it take humans to go Mars?", And he answered....

Elon replied by stating: "Many a man and woman would like to go Mars but right now I really can't say when that day will arrive. Right now we can only take advantage of our imagination and dream about it.  I wonder whether a trip to Mars will only be possible for the rich. Will the opportunity only be a symbol of wealth?"

She slowly gets up from the couch and starts to walk towards the bathroom, "I need a hot shower", she thinks. While inside the bathroom, she thinks about her dream, "Maybe Jeff would have proposed to me." She smiles at the thought of it.
