A Lock of John Lennon's Hair Has Sold for $35,000 at Auction
TIME MAGAZINE - Feb. 21, 2016
The hair was cut by a German barber in 1966 ahead of the filming of the movie How I Won The War.
An unnamed buyer has forked out $35,000 for a lock of John Lennon's hair that was cut from the Beatles' star's head 50 years ago, the BBC reports.
The four-inch lock cut by a German barber in 1966 ahead of the filming of the movie How I Won The War was "the largest lock of Lennon's hair ever sold at auction," according to Heritage Auction in Dallas, Texas.
The identity of the buyer of the hair was not disclosed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This story is based on a true event but it has some imaginary elements added into it.
I recently read an article about John's lock of hair being sold at the Heritage Auction House.
As much as I love John, I found it hard to believe that someone would be ready to pay such an astronomical sum of money in order to buy a lock of John's hair.
I don't know anything about the world related to auctions.
But I find it strange that someone would buy a lock of hair - even if it belongs to John, that I love dearly- for such a staggering sum of money.
After I read his article, that left me speechless, my imagination started working....
And I couldn't help but wonder what would John himself say if he got to know that his lock of hair had been sold for for $35,000.
Wouldn't he find it funny? Wouldn't he be appalled? Wouldn't he think that this money could be used for a more important cause?
What if John's lock of hair had been bought by someone like us?
A regular young girl who leads an ordinary life, who's got her own dreams, her own ambitions?
How far would this girl go, what kind of sacrifice would she be ready to make in order to get a lock of the hair of her favourite Beatle?

TRAPPED WITH HER WISH (A Christmas Romance)
I clenched my lip in frustration. How could this happen? The elevator came to an abrupt halt, and I was stuck with a bunch of strangers. "Daddy, she has such pretty hair," a little voice piped up, and I pretended not to notice that it was directed at me. Of course, it was about me; there was no one else here but us, and this situation was becoming increasingly aggravating. "Yes, sweetheart, she does," her father responded in a deep, seductive tone that sent shivers down my spine. But I didn't care about his voice; I just wanted out of this predicament. "Say 'thank you,'" one of the twins chimed in, snapping me out of my thoughts. They all bore a striking resemblance to their handsome father. I blushed with embarrassment, nervously bit my lip, and discreetly clenched my fist, trying to keep my anger in check "Yeah, say thank you. Daddy says we should always be grateful when someone compliments us," the other identical twin chimed in supportively. I swallowed hard, rolled my eyes, forced a fake smile, and turned toward the little girl nestled in her dad's strong arms. "Thank you," I muttered and then looked at the twins with the same strained smile.

Dwelling on the unresolved problems between himself and the others... Well, the problems he has with one person in particular. John Lennon. Paul wants to repair the apparent issues left behind him with his ex-partner... his ex-lover, and it's no secret to anybody in his "new" life. One day, even his wife, Linda, suggests to Paul that he should go and visit the lad in New York City. So? What else is he to do, but... make a surprise trip?

In My Life
It's 1988. Paul McCartney is being interviewed for the David Frost show, about a rather controversial topic. Once home, he discovers the few simple questions stirred up a rather complicated element of his past. Disclaimer: No libel intended. I do not own the Beatles - just their records and some memorabilia. This story is fiction. Real life events are included, but I do not claim anything happened the way it's described in this fic. All of this was thought up by my over-active imagination. Warning: No explicit sex, but a lot of angst and one instance of violence. Should be suitable for teens and up. Read at your own discretion. A/N Please let me know what your opinion is. I enjoy a pat on the back, but I also value thoughtful criticism. Please just bear in mind that I'm a human being with feelings, so don't be too harsh.

Maybe Us. (Vance Hopper x FEM! Reader)
You had been attending the same school for over 15 years, obviously because you were born in the small town in North Carolina. You were living a pretty normal life, till all of the abductions started happening in 1977. But lets go back a bit. Lets go back to the year 1976. You had been on a night shift on November 18th, 1976. There were many more people than your previous shift. Really the only people there were dropouts, druggies, drug dealers, freaks, and alcoholics. All around the ages 14-22. Everybody was pretty chill with eachother, except for a few people, but that was just the minority. You had been zoned out while staring at the clock, then suddenly heard a DING! Some kid wanted to buy some cigarettes again. You looked at him and he said "Jesus kid, you in a mental insitute or something? Snap out of it." you ringed him up after he asked you for a pack of camels, and then looked at a familiar guy playing pinball. The same blonde that got over 100,000 his last time he came. Everybody started hyping him up, so he's trying to beat 100,000. You remember the mess you had to clean up after some kid accidently knocked over a bunch of beer. You like to not think about how it ruined your favorite pair of shoes. He messed up again, and kicked the machine. You yelled out to him "That thing costs money you know." then he looked at you. His face almost looked angelic. But he had been the jerk of your highschool, so he couldn't be that angelic. He looked away and picked at his pockets. He pulled out nothing. He started walking up to you and started asking for a dime. "Come on, I feed you guys this money all the damn time. Plus you will just get it back." "Then maybe don't waste all your money on pinball. We've gained around $200 with you coming here almost everyday. Thanks for that." and then you smiled while picking up your book. He looked at you in anger, then you looked back up at him. He looked like he was in a bad mood. "Here's a dime." you said handing him a dime.Complete
The Beatles Story #1: John and Paul (And...George)
"Are you going to stand there like a stupid maniac or are you going to hurry up and do something maniacally stupid?" and "Put shit in their un-shit to make it shittier than our shit." Are just two lines that describe the story in which George writes a book about the 'greatest love story of all time' obviously involving his meddling in John and Paul's love life. And bringing poor Ringo into it too. Will John and Paul (and probably Ringo) kill George and spend life in prison? Or will they fall in love (probably without Ringo) and live happily ever after? Even if it is with George.Complete
