A homosexual guy who gets turned on by flaccid cocks and only flaccid cocks. He sees his own flaccid cock, gets hard, gets soft. An endless cycle. He finally meets a guy that doesn't care about his problem. He lets him stare at his flaccid cock and jerk off all the time. But then one day, the protagonist cuts off his partner's penis, thinking he can just keep it with him forever. But while he is hacking it off, the guy gets a hard on, which becomes permanent. He's left with the thing he hates the most, in the pursuit of the thing he wants the most. The End.

The MC takes his pige out behind the shed, it's time. The gun jams, and he has lost his knife. MC is forced to beat pige to death using his rifle like a club. The pige runs away and he breaks the rifle in his attempt. Then, the MC just Jacks off and shit posts until he starves to death. Final scene is when the Starving man finds the rotting corpse of pige, two weeks later, after he has lost the strength to even eat.

Early 2017...
A fifteen year old Muslim girl named Sara lives in a province of Syria that’s controlled by ISIS. Everyday she toils to care for her bedridden, dementia/cancer laden grandfather. She never knew her father and grandpa tells her that her mother died sometime in 2004 in Iraq shortly after Sara was born. She’s forced to wear a full burqa when she goes out and after she’s almost raped by a some inbred fuckstick, she uses a fair amount of th remaining family funds to buy an SVD Dragonuv with a suppressor and Subsonic ammo and Proceeds to wage an “enemy at the gates” style sniper war against the caliphate (after studying YouTube videos on long distance shooting/sniping) while also caring for her delirious grandfather who has fits of PTSD about his time as a sniper fighting against the soviets during the 80’s. His rants also reveal the secret that Sara’s mother was the secret identity of the elusive and deadly “JUBA” sniper
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juba_(sniper)
that killed numerous US service members during the Iraq war. By being crafty and learning to hide her weaponry under her clothes, Sara plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with ISIS as she hunts for blinds and evades patrols.
Tentatively titled “the sixth pillar”
Writing chapter two asshould be done by Halloween.

Sounds cool. Tell me more about her relationship with her grandfather. Is he the only one in her life? Does her grandfather know about her sniper war against ISIS? How does she pay the taxes demanded by ISIS? Also, ISIS would want her married if I'm right.

can someone tell me how to write a happy short story?

>Yeah it’s just the two of them

Does her grandfather know about her sniper war against ISIS?

>He’s going to get really sick after they arrive and Sara will need to pitch in to carry them as he becomes bed ridden shortly after they arrive in Syria. He’ll show her his sniper rifle and tell stories of fighting the soviets and later in the story he’ll tell her about how he trained her mother and the damage she did against the Americans in the insurgency. Sara will figure out how to McGuyver some cell service and watch Enemy at the Gates, American Sniper and YouTube hunting videos to help her along.

How does she pay the taxes demanded by ISIS?

>The initial move is funded by her grandfather selling a crate of 10 ak’s at $500 a piece he’d been squirreling away since guns hold their value. It’ll come out of that and it’ll put the squeeze on their finances

Also, ISIS would want her married if I'm right.

>Sara is going to have to claim to be married and say that her husband is fighting infidels in Afghanistan and won’t be back for awhile. It’ll add tension as they grill her for information.

I’ve already got an action packed climax plotted where ISIS raids the hotel when they discover her and she pulls som Assassins Creed/Robin good shit with a rope on a pulley that attached to the roof as she escapes. Hint: she’s been stealing IED shells from the roadside at night and removing the detonators.

Thanks dude! I post periodically in these tapir/novel idea threads with the same image and plot text. Feel free to say hello. I’ve posted progress on my other books here while I was writing them.

To each their own, so I won’t tell you what to do; that’s for each writer himself to determine. However, I’d recommend an organic solution to the stories central conflict, with the protagonist playing an active role in the resolution. Ideally, by doing what he has to do to solve the conflict, he mitigates an internal dispute he has and realizes something genuinely profound.
