Week 6 story Grayson and Art Girl Escape
"What a lovely night", Grayson thought. He had just gotten married to his beautiful bride. Art Girl was the perfect woman she could paint better than anyone and she was a model. Grayson was absolutely in love with her and couldn't wait for the honeymoon. Since he had started his new job at Goldman Sachs he was living large. He got the best hotel in the most romantic destination for their retreat. Plus his best friend Sebastian had given them a great deal on the place. Sebastian was a successful rental property manager turned Hotel owner. All of his friends said good bye and wished them well on the vacation.
The flight to their destination felt like eternity for the newly weds. They were so excited to finally make it there that they were bursting with excitement. The hotel was magnificent.
"Hey guys welcome to the hotel", Sebastian greeted. "I hope you enjoy the stay; I have given you guys the best room in the hotel".
The couple ran to their room in excitement. When they arrived they walked into the marvelous room. It was so big with 15 foot ceilings and an expansive floor space. Grayson walked to the balcony. When he arrived he overlooked the most beautiful beach he had ever seen. When Grayson looked around the room he noticed some strange wires. Apon further investigation he realized that the wires were connected to some bombs!
Grayson realized Sebastain was trying to kill him because he married Art Girl. Art Girl had rejected Sebastian when he had asked her on a 2nd date over 5 years ago. Grayson couldn't believe that Sebastian was still mad about him getting with her. Grayson had asked Sebastian if it was okay if they went on a date and Sebastian had said yes thinking Grayson would have no chance with her. Grayson knew right away that they would need to find a way to escape with no one knowing, but also with some decoy to get Sebastian off their tale. Sebastian would hunt them down if he thought there was anyway that they could still be alive.
Grayson noticed that the bomb would be going off in a few hours. That gave him enough time to come up with a plan. He quickly ran down to the beach and had his wife help him grab one of the pigs by the water. It was one of the cooked pigs that you will regularly see at a luau. With the pig in had the couple quickly dropped it off on top of the bed so that the pig would go flying when it went off.
Grayson and Art Girl quickly took an Uber to the airport and took the first plane home. They didn't even stay until the fireworks.
They received news a few days later about the reports of the tragedy that had happened at the hotel. They quickly turned the news on and saw Sebastian on the news.
"We do not know what caused this terrorist attack to happen at the resort. We are deeply saddened by the event that unfolded on our property a few days ago. Security will be beefed up in order to deal with any possible tragedies again."
"Wow what a bold faced lie" Grayson said, "He wanted us dead and is now playing the victim."
Author's notes: I decided to take the story of The House of Fire and add my own twist to it. I made it the same basic premise of the king trying to kill Yudhisthira in his palace by setting it on fire. Instead of having some poor beggars die I went with a Luau pig, and they didn't have to take a taxi they just Uber'd out of there.

Hello again, Alex! I thought your story was refreshing. I can see that you were trying to write a more comic-styled story. With that being said, I thought it was clever how you changed how the fire was set. From the furniture and tapestries being soaked in oil and the roofs and walls made only of wood to strange wires leading to a bomb, I loved how you were able to rewrite that in your own version of the story.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex!
ReplyDeleteYour story was so intriguing. You kept it to the point without dragging out any of the information, yet you provided plenty of imagery to help the reader paint a picture of what was happening as you were telling the story. I loved how everything was going great and then all of a sudden the story took an unexpected turn. You also ended it so well, again with just the right amount of detail. Is there a reason that you gave grayson a name and art girl just art girl? Not necessarily bad, I was just confused. I think you did a really good job overall though!
Hey Alex!
ReplyDeleteI like how you changed the story. The way the fire was set was very well thought out. But I would develop the female character. She is an important character but is know for her looks and the fact that she rejected Sebastian. She is in the entire story and is only known as "Art Girl." Also, maybe don't say he is only looking forward to the honeymoon-- people usually look forward to the wedding and their lives together too. It further makes her look like she is nothing.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great story, though I wish it had more background into Art Girl and Grayson's relationship, right now it all just seems so fake and about the money and the "good looks" of Art Girl. Also, Sebastian in really bad at hiding bomb, especially since it was found in plain sight. I'm confused as to why Sebastian decided to blow up his own property....you could have killed them practically anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteHi Alex! Your story was fun to read. I liked how you had Sebastian try to get revenge on Grayson and Art Girl because of some petty five year old grudge! It kind of relates to modern times because some people do have weird grudges like that. Hopefully no one will take it as far as Seb though lol! I also like how you used the name Sebastian, I have a younger brother named Sebastian which is a bit unique, how did you come up with it?!
