The planet is

STATIC

100 words in a story processor   (E) If you want a job done properly then do it yourself. #2224557 by lezismore-moreislez

The prompt is “Twice upon a time?” I exclaimed

I think I have one of those "story processor" machines. It sits here one my desk and makes all kinds of mistakes. I will type something that I am positive is right the way I want it but it will be changed by the story processor. I am a graduate student so homework assignments have to be perfect. If the spacing between lines is off by even one mm I can be docked for it. Yet my story processor (computer) does not want to follow the parameters I set for it. I set them as default and it still spaces one or two lines differently or puts and extra space between paragraphs. I go through and manually change all of that and pray the changes stay in place. Numbered lists are the worst and I have to use numbered lists for footnotes in Turabian format. They end up leaving a huge blank space at the bottom of the paragraph that I still have not figured out how to get rid of.

"Prompt: What is your favorite summer treat?"

Anybody who knows me can answer that one. My favorite summer treat is ice cream. I eat it all year round. It can be below zero outside or bitter cold and I will stand in the snow and eat ice cream. I love ice cream. The problem is that it doesn't love me back. Well yes, I guess it does. It clings to me. I have wondered a few times if I should bypass my mouth and rub it directly onto my waist because that is where it ultimately ends up!

Prompt: "What are your plans for the weekend?"

What weekend? I have to study!
