Time to write!
Day 5: Write about an object in the room with you.
Have you ever gotten mad at your computer for not cooperating with you, or for going slow, and had someone else say something completely patronizing such as, "Now calm down. It's just a machine."?
What if I told you they were wrong?
What if I told you they were dead wrong?
Would you believe me if I told you that your computer knows who you are and is lying in wait to take over your brain?
I hope not!
How silly would that be? Oh you funny person. Computers are just machines. We just need to learn to be more patient.
Psych.

Franklin
Time to write!
Franklin loved making goals. He would plan out each day, make a to do list, set objectives, and so on and so forth. For day to day goals, Franklin was normally able to accomplish most of his tasks. Or at least half. But for his long term goals, Franklin had a bad habit of stopping a few days in. He couldn't count the number of times he had started a work out regimen, done it for three nights, then not worked out again for another four weeks, until he set a new goal.
The point is, Franklin was simply one of those people with good intentions, but not enough drive. He wasn't perfect. He was a nice boy, but there wasn't really anything about him that made him special. Or so he thought.
On the other hand Majesta, Queen of Florenceville across the sea had quite the opposite problem. Majesta was a woman who made up her mind, and who got what she wanted. She made plans, and then she carried them out. A living testament to the old adage "Where there's a will there's a way", Majesta rarely tasted the bitter notes of disappointment or failure. While highly successful, Majesta was not one that anybody really looked up to or would consider a role model. Queen Majesta was Dame of Darkness and Woman of Woe, a sorceress and all around bad person.
In most stories it would be completely unlikely that Franklin and Majesta would ever meet. But this story isn't most stories. This is the one story, of all the stories out there, were they do meet, and that meeting changed the lives of many, and perhaps the course of the world.
