When the House of Cards Fell


Falling Cards: Tales from the Earth​
​
Have every character in every chapter, but they are not known to the character.
​
Have A Narrator Account- have him recount experiences from his own life and how they interact
with the other people, leading up to him revealing his role(murderer) in the entire story. Have the
same characters in the next story leading up to it. Mrs. Powell, next story comedian, have Mrs.
Powell bumps into the comedian or something. ​
Balance.
Balance was all I ever wanted, my overwhelming desire for it pushed me far beyond my limits
and led to the impossibility. If I could have changed one thing about my life, it would have been
to use my knowledge and power now to change everything that happened.​
Knowledge is a gift, and my obsession for power made me a fool. The world changes everyday,
people live, and people die. I just never would have thought that the end would come so soon.
People like Mrs. Powell made life just great, but life is never fair, it never will be.
A small fire burned slowly by my side, the room’s temperature started to drop until it became
freezing. It was time for me to go. The painful memory of the night still lingering in my forehead,
I stumbled forward, chains on my hands and feet, ever slowly I moved. ​

Mrs. Powell was sitting down at her home on that day, the
broken-down TV was blaring Family Feud throughout the small
room. “Hello! Welcome to Family Feud, and here is your host: the
comedian and 5 time Emmy award winner: CC!!!” She knew today
would be just the same, today would be the same as yesterday.
Every day would be today, and there would be no tomorrow. No
change, nothing. The excessive amount of boredom that was there,
was so extreme that entertainment couldn’t enter, it definitely
wouldn’t want to, if it did, it would just become boring once it
entered. The most exciting thing that had recently happened to
Mrs. Powell was that she had just won her 500th game of
solitaire, she didn’t know this of course, nobody keeps track of
those kinds of things. A large fire burned in a fireplace, so it
was very hot, to a regular person they would have described it
as: “HELP THE BUILDING IS ON FIRE! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
SOMEONE CALL 911! SAVE MRS. POWELL!!!” But Mrs. Powell would
just step outside onto the porch and just sit down on her old
white bench. Now, don’t think that this dear sweet old lady is a
completely boring person, she used to be the life of the party!
Mrs. Powell’s life may not be any fun, but her memories
certainly were. She wasn’t always so lonely and wrinkled, her
face tells a story of what happened long ago, and also, what was
to come. You see, Mrs. Powell wore rather special glasses, yet
she was blind. These glasses weren’t meant to see out of, they
were meant to be used as a protection for her eyes, her eyes
when opened, didn’t exactly see darkness. They saw what happened
in the future. So Mrs. Powell was always ready for this day to
come, she had been waiting a long time. Her doctor Mr. Burns had
said, “You will never see this day, not now, not ever, you don’t
have much time to live.” Mrs. Powell dismissed this statement,
thanked the doctor and left. Mrs. Powell believed in seeing the
good in people, she always knew how to make her children happy
back in her day, if they were sick, she would give them the best
homemade chicken soup in the world, the day they left her, once
her final child said goodbye, Mrs. Powell knew that her husband
would’ve been proud of what she had done. She smiled sitting on
the porch, knowing what was to come, and that is when the clouds
turned black……​

The Best Comedian(Write as a comic strip)​

Charles Cash was known back in the day as the “Worth your Cash Comedian”, growing up he
would always be telling jokes to people, coming up with some of the best one-liners, puns, and
stories. One day, while he was coming back from school, he noticed that there was a FOR
SALE sign in front of the most beautiful house. It had a magnificent garden, with the most pretty
flowers, tulips and roses. Charles then smelled something, it was the most amazing thing he
had ever smelled. “I am really hungry,” said Charles. The smell was not the reason Charles went
in though, because he saw the TV going, and decided not to bother the people. He decided to
go home and eat some ice cream, now he was really really getting hungry. Charles was walking
away, when he noticed a red light coming through the window, he later described it in his jokes
as a TV that shot lasers. Mesmerized by the light, the young boy stared at it with awe. A scream
woke up Charles, and he ran in fear away from the house, while an elderly woman in glasses
with a shotgun came out of the house, with anger in her eyes, the woman shut the door, and
locked it. Now, you are probably wondering why I haven’t told you any of the jokes Charles did,
it’s because they are always unfunny unless CHARLES did them. I remember one of his best
ones, he made one about a uhhhh….. Uhh….. oh look there is he on TV! You can watch him
right now! Oh come on, stupid TV, let me try to fix it. NEWS FLASH: A… AND I TOLD HIM
THAT A… MURDER ON… SESAME STREET WAS ALWAYS SO… DANGEROUS, PLEASE
REPORT IN YOU SEE… A MAN RUNNING AROUND IN THE STREET DOING… THE
SMOOTHIE GOES INTO THE BLENDER AND.. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! (Make this a
comic)​
