Challenges - Part 1

I read a companion to a fanfiction series in which the author took a one hundred prompt challenge and I liked it so much I copied them.  Each prompt is supposed to be responded to in one sentence, but as you will see, number 14 took on a life of its own.  The prompts have helped me to both A) develop Samantha and her back story and B) write in every spare moment I have.  But I am far from done.  Below is are the numbers of the prompts I have yet to do and a handful that I already have done.  Message me a number or post it in the comments and I will include it in the next batch! 

8, 18, 20-22, 24, 27-30, 32-41, 43-45, 48-52, 55-62, 64-71, 73, 75-77, 79-81, 83-85, 87, 88, 90-99

1. Introduction: Sam’s introduction to Transformers could have been better, but then, most could.
2. Love: As she curled into a ball of self loathing, Sam wondered how she had ever thought herself in love with Eddie.
3. Light: Sam gunned it and the light turned red as soon as her tires left the intersection.
4. Dark: It was darker in the country than in the city but Sam liked that.
5. Seeking Solace: The family, now of two, huddled together by the grave of the most important woman in their lives, safe in each others embrace.
6. Break Away: The tires spun as the bullets flew and Sam barely escaped.
7. Heaven: Sam groaned happily as she bit into the hot peach turnover; no one made peach turnover like her Aunt Belle.
9. Drive: Sam was eleven when her father taught her to drive her uncle’s tractor and the world hasn’t been the same since.
10. Breathe Again: As Beckett uttered those words Sam felt struck by a physical blow; it took many long seconds to regain her hearing, breath and power of speech.
11. Memory: Grumbling, she changed the radio station; she liked some show tunes but that one was over used.
12. Insanity: Sam’s world turned upside down the moment her car began dodging bullets on it’s own.
13. Misfortune: Some days Sam cursed the day she witnessed the beginning of Eddie’s downfall, but then she thinks of the friends she met along the way and the pain is a little less.
14. Smile: “Daddy!” Sam ran excitedly into the room where her father and his friend, a man she knew only as ‘Sir’ were talking in low tones. The two men looked toward her in surprise as she thrust her hand into her father’s face, thumb and forefinger holding her prize for his inspection.
“Lookie! I loth my firth thooth! An i’ dinn even hurth!”
Her father grinned back at her her and scooped her up to plant a proud kiss on her nose. “Congratulations InĂ­on.”
“Are you going to put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy?” the man known as Sir asked. Sam turned and studied the man with solemn grey eyes for a moment then whispered quietly in her father’s ear. The man watched as her father’s face involuntarily twitched in a half smile then quickly sobered and whispered a response in her ear. Seriously, the child turned her curl ringed face to the man.
“The thooth fairy ithint real, Thir.”
15. Silence: The hardest part of being in Witsec, Sam quickly decided, was not being able to call her father; when she needed comfort there was silence.
