I Told Them I'd Be Rich Someday
PART 1- THE WHY William "Tell" Thompson was a rebel by nature. It coursed through his body like a fire that would never go out. It burned eternal, like the flame of Olympus. He joined the NAVY, not out of patriotism, although he did believe wholeheartedly in the beauty, truth and also the hypocrisy of the United States of America. He was a man of a certain type of attribute: perseverance. He was born and raised in a small town on Lake Erie by the name of Huron. Situated on the bank of Lake Erie, a literal stones throw from the Canadian border. He loved the water. Lived for the water. Worshipped the water. Huron was a tourist town, no more than 20 miles from the most famous theme park in the world, Cedar Point. He wasn't born into wealth, quite the opposite. He grew up with limited money, second hand clothes and was made aware of his stature at every turn through school. He met and married his Highschool sweetheart. AJ Selby. Love was at first sight and they were married as soon as they graduated. His Father had passed away at a young age, of course because of the dreaded "C" word, and his mother never fully recovered. She took her own life when he was 18. She walked into the frigid, frozen waters of the lake, and her body was never discovered. Tell drowned his sorrow in typical fashion: heroin, alcohol, cocaine and as many fights as he could get into. He didn't care if he won or lost, he just wanted to feel the pain, to know he was alive. Because of the love, grace and unflinching determination of his wife, he was able to pull out of it, and before long they were the parents of a beautiful baby girl. They named her Leo, because she was born on August 17th and was as fierce as a little Lion. The joy of father hood and because of the responsibility of his little Lion, he decided he would join the NAVY. He scored ridiculously high on the ASFAB, with exceptional high scores on diving. At this time the NAVY was launching experiments in saturation diving, a type of deep water extreme diving duration under ridiculously high pressure exposure and quite deadly. Tell signed up without a second thought, and before long was shipped to San Diego.

@Thomas Joshua thank you, but what do you think of the story?
Snowflake pitch for Me and The Great Bear
An extremely skillfully analytical bucket shop stock trader and his partner, navigate the year of 1929, the year of the great crash. The partners invent, by chance, technical analysis, short the railroad right before the great earth quake on San Francisco, corner the cotton market, when The President asks them to stop cornering the market, they agree and then also profit tremendously on the subsequent rise of the price of cotton. The partners had also, during The Great panic of 1919, shorted the market , and are asked to stop, by the one and only JP Morgan himself which they oblige his request. I picture it in my head as Wolf Of Wall Street meets The Great Gatsby.

Confessions Of A Strung Out Road Dog
Story one- I Was Gonna Throw Her Over The Mountain Side It was a rain day. Pouring, torrential rain. Damn sure, I wasn't gonna paint any edge line today. Rain days are the best. No work, no responsibilities and plenty of bars and booze to drink. We was in Virginia, Gods country. Let me tell ya something about Virginia, try and find a flat place to park. The whole goddamn state is on a pitch . Beautiful beyond a doubt, and the women reflected that as well. I'll tell ya something as well, I love me some women, yes sir I surely do. All kinds, big ones, small ones, tall ones and my favorite, the easy ones. I decided I'd go down to my favorite bar, The Hickory. Cheap beer and easy women. Oh, another thing you should know about me, I love to smoke crack. Tastes like America to me, ya know what I'm saying? Gets me moving and grooving baby. Good time Charlie, baby, good time Charlie. Yessir. So I make my way down to The Hickory. Slam a couple beers and a couple shots. Starting to feel good. In comes my type of woman, thick and easy, haha, yessir. So I walk up to her and I says," How you doing beautiful, can I buy a drink?" She smiled, crooked teeth and missing half of em. Don't bother me none at all. "Sure.", she says. "Well alright then, let's get this party started." We drink a few drinks and I ask her, " You like to party? Like rock or soft? Can you get some?" She smiles and says," Yeah I party and I get some, I'm a working girl though, you understand?" "I surely do, yes ma'am, I surely do." So we leave, hop in my truck, go to some ghetto area and she grabs some rock for us and we head back to the motel. I likes to call em, the motel,no tell, haha, yessir. We get up to my room, and we're moving and grooving, doing our thing. Smoking, drinking, dancing. All of a sudden this broad starts have a seizure. And I mean a bad seizure. She's shaking like goddamn Michael J Fox all over the floor and all of a sudden she stops. Keep in mind, I'm in total and absolute shock. I don't even know this broads name.
