(*Tiberius jumps in quickly so Dirtgirl doesn't get the chance to turn this into some gayporn story to get at FatherShark....*)
She couldn't believe her eyes. It was Zack and he was alive. She was relieved, but nevertheless she still had to leave. As she looked out the window behind FatherShark and looked down unto the grimy city and polluted skies she knew that she had to leave.
At that point, she resolved herself to leave in a few days. She'd meet her sister on Venus. Earth was just a hole these days. It had never been the same since World War 3 when the nuclear war between Iraq and America wiped out most of world's population and left those left alive in sickness and poverty. After the war, the major governments of the world that were left invested in terraforming and terraformed the planet Venus. It was a long, difficult, and dangerous project but in the end it was worth it, and billions of people left Earth to start a new life on the now beautiful utopia.
Sarah loved Zack, but it had been a long time and they were different people now. Especially Zack who was starring at her, fixated on her, wondering who this beautiful woman was. FatherShark was starring at her too, well, parts of her, but that was to be expected.

FatherShark motions Zack aside for a quiet word, where he asks if he is at all familiar with the term "dual carriageway opportunity"......

...and then, suddenly, it was revealed that this mysterious beauty used to date a sk8er boi, and Zack stood there scratching his head thinking to himself "i'm sure i've seen her on MTV"...

"Wait wait wait!!!" screamed Sarah. "It's me. Sarah! I sing in this hotel. I make money for you. Yes I've had my music videos on MTV, but hey, I can actually play an instrument and I can sing live. How many other people on MTV can say that they can do that?" FatherShark dropped his knife. She had a point. That, and she was hot.

Sarah was glad that FatherShark hadn't "had his way" with her yet and she wasn't planning on letting it happen either. Despite the return of Zack, she knew she had to do what her sister did (no not that) and leave for Venus.

No, he wasn't.
And was Sarah really going to leave now that she'd found Zack again?
What was the story behind FatherShark? Is he human?
Would Zack regain all of his memory?
Who was Latisha and what was her connection to Zack's attempted assassination?
And How did Zack survive the attempted assassination?
But we interrupt this exciting story to bring you a post that was originally posted on soundczech by moi:
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example from a Creative Writing class.
In-class Assignment for Wednesday: The tandem story. Each student will pair off with the person to his or her immediate right. One of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph,and so on back and forth. Remember to reread what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.
"The following was actually turned in by two of my English students:
Rebecca (last name deleted), and Gary (last name deleted)."
STORY:
(First paragraph by Rebecca)
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.
(Gary's paragraph)
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17", he said into his transgalactic commmunicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
(Rebecca's paragraph)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt, one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman whom had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel" Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.
(Gary's paragraph)
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mother ship launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dimwitted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty, the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion that vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!"
(Rebecca's paragraph)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semiliterate adolescent.
(Gary's paragraph)
Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.
(Rebecca's paragraph)
Asshole.
(Gary's paragraph)
Bitch.
