The Most Overly Done Contest Idea

You know how this works people. I supply the prompts/options/inspirative songs and whatnot, and you supply me with your stories.

Option One...

A story based on, or inspired by, the following songs:

1. I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
2. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
3. Highway to Hell - AC/DC
4. Savior - Skillet
5. The Last Night - Skillet
6. Whispers in the Dark - Skillet
7. Saturday in the Park - Chicago
8. Blaze of Glory - Jon Bon Jovi
9. Whiskey Lullabye - Brad Paisley
10.Photograph - Nickelback

Option Two...

I've been craving a good comedy. Have one for me? Random works well, but it must be intelligent and thought-out, okay?

Option Three...

I've asked this in a number of contests, yet no one has ever given me one. And so, even though there is little hope, I'm asking for a story having to do with the movie Phone Booth's killer. A "fan fiction" with him in it, please.

Option Four...

A story inspired by the picture above. If this helps any, I drew that as trying to reflect how people sometimes feel "alien" in this world.

Rules:

1. Please, no erotica. Hinting's fine.
2. As always, swearing is allowed, just don't over-do it.
3. The maximum length is 2,000 words. If a story's 2,200 words, or something like that, it's fine.
4. No bashing here.
5. If you base your story off a song, please put its number in the Author's Notes.

Alright, you have your options. Now get writing!

    Hmm.

    I tried to enter two prewrites, but found that you had already read both of them. I may try to write something for this contest if I can think of a good storyline in time.
