A Short Story

This is my ploy to secure an A for my online literature class, English 257.

Prologue.
This is short story. Sometimes a very difficult task when long stories are generally needed. Being the skilled wizard of words that I am, it is possible only for some. When I say this is a short story, I really mean short. Why? Because I have something very important to do and the self evaluation for this class is due tonight. This is not to say that my short story is any less important to me than the other important thing mentioned above. This is the story of how Idaho came to be.

Chapter 1:
Zeus was lonely one day, atop his mighty mountain Olympus. Hera was on vacation in Mexico with her three girlfriends from the city, because one of her girlfriends was just left at that alter by her boyfriend of ten years called Mr. Big. I know this sounds a lot like Sex and the City, and your right, this is exactly what happened in Sex and the City: The Movie.
Since Zeus had no one to talk to before he went to bed that night, he decided to create a state filled with beautiful gems that would sparkle from deep below the earth. He would call this state, The Gem State. Zeus really liked vodka as well, so he made this land bountiful with potatoes. He would call this new Vodka, Spudka.

Chapter 2:
When Hera returned from Mexico she was really pissed because Zeus had made a bunch of gorgeous native women and she found them lying around the Mount Oly Resort topless. Hera was jealous of these women and so she sent white settlers to move them off their land. Zeus cried because he loved these women, and blessed them with beauty and many buffaloes for generations to come.

Chapter 3:
Zeus and Hera consider getting a divorce. Marital troubles. They fix their issues and decide as a celebration of their renewed marriage to build a learning institution for the inhabitants of this beautiful land. They call it the University of Idaho.

Chapter 4:
Zeus really likes this young woman named Liz Sandoval and bestows upon her the gift of story- telling. Zeus comes down and invades the mind of her English 257 professor Rick Fehrenbacher and gives Liz Sandoval and A in the class because she is so funny.

Epilogue.
Liz Sandoval remained happy and told many more stories to the people of the gem state. She remained forever grateful to Zeus and Mr. Fehrenbacher. She then received a Grammy Award for best narration of an audio tape for this story.

The End. *Applause. *
