Creative writing One Shots

Prompt 4

Challenge: Use these three things in your story -- A cupcake, outer space, an actor/actress.

It was a pretty average day at best for David, but he had this pit in his stomach, like something was going to happen. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he always trusted his gut instinct.

He just wanted to get home and relax after a long day of filming for his show. somehow, it felt like that was a part in his pretty average day. Filming wrapped up at 5 o'clock and he had decided to walk home because he never drove to work; was of petrol.

"Oh. My. God. It's you; David Tennant!" someone shouted behind him. He just wanted to go home ad relax.

He put on a smile to hide his troubles, "Yep, that's me. The one and only." The person was a young female, aged 16 or 17. "What's your name love?" he asked.

"Anabeth." she smiled, a hand behind her back.

"Nice to meet you, Anabeth. What's that you got there?" he gestured to her hidden hand.

"It's your birthday today, innit? Well, I wanted to give you this," she pulled her hand in front of her body, and a cupcake with a single candle sat on her palm. She held it out to him, "Happy birthday!" she grinned.

"Oh, that's so nice of you!" he exclaimed, taking it from her and biting into the cake. "It's lovely." he manages through the mouthful of cake and icing. Her smile turns into an evil smirk and he realises what just happened. She poisoned him. She bloody poisoned David Tennant.

~~

"Ughh," he groaned as reality set in and the blisteringly bright lights make his stomach roll. His eyes shoot open with the realisation that he's still alive. I swear, I'm gonna bloody kill her , he thought while scanning his surroundings. His vision still blurry from whatever was in that cupcake made seeing even more difficult. He must be hallucinating, he has to be. He was in outer space.

Several hours of waiting, attempting to escape, failing, attempting again, and succeeding passed before he finally realised where he was; an observatorium, with a fake solar system and fake nebulas. He was hallucinating. Thank God because that would've been nearly impossible to pull off otherwise.

He eventually make it home and relaxed a bit before calling the police to file a report on Anabeth. She was caught a few days later, she confessed and was sentence to 25 years minimum, with no bail. Everything was as it should be.

**What did you think of that one? It was a new one for me because I've never written a story about a famous person, none the less about David freaking Tennant. I've also never done a challenge where it involved certain items, so that was quite fun to do. Next one will be a challenge to end my story with a specific sentence. Anyway, don't forget to request something and I'll see you in the next chapter!**
