'Dear ClarMax, for your short story issue-problem-desperation I have the perfect solution! You could write about a girl who is on the bus and sees something out of the corner of her eye, she yells and suddenly gun-shots start to go off. The girl is faced with a choice of jumping of the person and risking her life or waiting for the police to show up, but by then people will have died. Sorry to give you such a hard choice, but it's one you will have to make..... for your writing of course.

With Sincerest Hopes,                                                                                          The Doctor                                                                                                     And Donna!'

  Clara sat reading the answer from the people called The Doctor and Donna and the story started flooding into her head. She quickly pulled up a new document and started typing her story about the girl on the bus. The only trouble Clara came to was at the end, she just couldn’t decide what the girl chose to do; would she choose to jump on the firing man, or wait for the police. Clara thought it should have been an easy choice, but for some reason it wasn’t so. She then decided to wait until the next day to finish her short story.

No no no this isn’t happening, she thought, this must just be a dream, but the second gun shot was enough to tell her this was not. She thought of her story, what had happened there, but how would those peopl- “boom” another shot, it doesn’t matter right now, she thought. Clara remembered, and Clara knew. She knew that she had to make the choice, the one she was faced in writing her story; does she jump or wait. Clara looked out from where she was ducking and noticed the shooter was only two seats ahead of her in the aisle, she could reach him; but it might kill her. Clara also thought of waiting for the police, surely somebody would have thought to call them. But then another shot went off, and the answer was clear, it had always been this clear but Clara had just been to scared to realize it. Clara stood up in her seat. Clara jumped. The screaming people watched as Clara jumped onto the firing man. She jumped right on top of the guy firing and they both went down. Clara heard a gun shot and her vision went blurry, I guess this is it, she thought, and everything went black.
