Well, I decided to try writing a short story based on the results of a random plot generator just to see if I could, and this was the result I got:
Protagonist: Realtor
Antagonist: Asteroid (at which point I was convinced to write this story)
Setting: Cottages by the beach
Now, I've written the first two paragraphs of the story, but before I go further, I'd like your opinions on them. Did they interest you? Bore you? Did you dislike the tone? Was the obvious exaggeration of a stereotype galling, or were you able to ignore it in the spirit of the story?
The last question in particular I'd like answered.
And so, without further ado, I present to you all the first two paragraphs of "Ground Zero."

The sun shone splendidly the day the asteroid hit. Months before, scientists had tried to warn the public that the space rock would touch down somewhere off the east coast of Florida, but with a presidential election going on, the media simply weren’t interested in syndicating news of the earth’s impending doom.
And so it was that shortly after arriving in office, still riding on the crest of a highly controversial campaign and multiple recounts, the new president received quite the nasty shock. But we aren’t interested in The President; nay, this is the story of one Kayla Lindsey Anderson, Realtor, and how she dealt with the impending threat to her very livelihood.
