Microfiction: RichNote

 Short Story:

    Just another normal day of going to work, Matthew had no idea what would happen to him today. On his drive to work, Matthew was suddenly stopped by a gold notebook that was thrown onto his front windshield while stopped at a stop light. He immediately got out of the car confused, and grabbed the strange looking notebook. 

"Rich Note"

When he opened the notebook, the front page was filled with writing. As Matthew read on, his eyes widened. 

"Rule #1 of Command Note: The name of the person you write down on this notebook shall obtain wealth of the writer's choice."

This was it. The way to escape the hell cycle that is work.

Author's Note:

The first short story is something I was inspired by after watching the anime, Deathnote. However, I could not care less about a notebook that let's me kill people by writing their names. I'd much rather have a book that makes people rich by the stroke of a pen. I would also control the degree of wealth that individual would achieve. The tweet is something hilarious I saw on Twitter. If you think about it, it is an incredible stat even though they represent two different sports. Coach Harbaugh, never change.

    Hi Taeam!
    I really liked your microfiction story! It took me a moment to figure out that you story was based off of death note but I figured it out when you wrote that the person would have to write down a name. I wouldn’t want a notebook that would let me kill people either. I would much rather have one that made people rich. Great story!

Introduction to my life

Image
  Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is Taeam Kang and I will be taking you all on a trip down my life. I first came to the University of Oklahoma to major in Microbiology, Pre-Dental. I enjoyed the field of dentistry and made the effort the past three years to work and get as many shadowing hours and experience as possible. However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified. I currently live with six of my friends in a house near campus. My family consists of my mother, step-father, an

Week 9 Story: Battle of the Heavens

(Image Information: Ultimate Vessel for Supreme Diety  https://www.reddit.com/r/NanatsunoTaizai/comments/7ir36v/ultimate_vessel_for_supreme_deity/) In the beginning of time, a big bang created a world split between heaven and hell. Each world was ruled by all-mighty entities; Aura, the goddess angel of heaven, and Amadan, the demon king of hell. For years, the two rulers raged war upon each other, creating chaos for centuries to come. Between the two opposite worlds existed a world of man, who found themselves constantly in the crossfire in the war between heaven and hell.  The two rulers also had children of their own. First born son of Amadan was named, Zaratras, who became the most notorious and feared soldier in the demon king’s army. First born daughter of Aura was named, Yama, who also became the strongest soldier in the army of heavens. Both fought countless days and nights, fighting for a cause created by their parents. However, when they met on the battlefield, it deemed too d
