We’ve all been there: staring at a blinking cursor with a paper due in 12 hours and a brain that feels like it’s running on 2% battery. Whether you’re drafting your college essay or scrambling through high school English, the moment always comes when you whisper the magic words, “write me… anything.”
This short story is for every student who’s ever wished for a paper-writing genie.
The Essay That Wouldn’t Start
Maya sat hunched over her laptop, caffeine buzzing through her system. Her assignment? A 1,000-word cause and effect essay on the impact of social media on teen mental health.
Her problem? Zero motivation and a million distractions.
She sighed dramatically.
“Write me something insightful,” she pleaded to the screen. “Write me a sentence. Write me a spark. Write me… anything.”
And then—something weird happened.
Without warning, her Google Doc flickered. The words “write me” flashed across the screen like a message typed by invisible hands. Then came a soft ding, and a new chat tab opened up.
“Hello, Maya. I heard you whisper. I’m your essay assistant. Ready when you are.”
Now, Maya wasn’t one to believe in ghosts—or essay fairies—but she was desperate.
“Uh… okay. Write me a college entrance essay?” she typed, half-joking.
“Sure. Tell me about something that changed your perspective—big or small.”
She hesitated, then typed: “My grandmother taught me to knit during quarantine. It started as a way to pass time, but it ended up teaching me patience and mindfulness.”
The reply? A full paragraph, reflective and articulate. And shockingly, good.
They worked together for hours. Maya tossed in messy thoughts and half-sentences. The assistant refined them, structured them, and offered feedback. Anytime Maya typed “write me a better version of this” or “write me a conclusion that doesn’t suck,” the assistant delivered—without judgment or sighing.
By the time the clock struck 1:43 AM, she had a polished, persuasive, and properly cited essay—done.
Before logging off, Maya sent one last message:
“Write me a reminder to start my next paper before midnight.”
“Will do. And next time, try asking sooner.”
She smiled. She didn’t know who—or what—this helper was. But she knew one thing: the next time school stress hit and inspiration ran dry, she’d know exactly what to type:
“Write me.”
