I wrote this and the following description in 2019 for a fanfiction assignment for an intro to writing course in college. After almost three years, I finally remembered to post it to Wattpad. Note: I do not own Progressive, Allstate, The General, or any of the companies mentioned in this story.

A Quick Explanation of the Characters and Theme
For my fanfiction, after a lot of deliberation, I chose to take characters from insurance commercials and some of the plot points of some of the commercials to create an original story. My story utilizes Flo, Big Jim, and The Campbell's Family (who were unnamed in the commercial, so I named them using the names of some of the employees as well as a couple of Flo's family members) from Progressive, and Mayhem from the Allstate commercials. The General from the General auto insurance makes a brief cameo. There isn't really a universe that contains these characters, or any real plot in these commercials other than the obvious advertisement. Flo and Big Jim are the heroes, the Campbell's family is the victim, and Mayhem causes the problem. I tried to make this story seem as comical and unrealistic as possible, all the while trying to make it seem like a parody of what I felt a Progressive Infomercial movie might be like. I hope you enjoy reading my story.
