There is this guy named Jacob but he goes by JP and he is in love with his neighbor... let's call her DP. One blessed Sunday JP's minister delivers a powerful sermon about the benefits of marriage so JP decides to ask his neighbor to marry him. She agrees and they set a wedding date.
THEN one week before the wedding JP is in a terrible should-be-fatal head-on collision... but miraculously he doesn't die. The driver of the other car, however, is hospitalized in critical condition. Let's cal her JG.
THEN the day before the wedding JG miraculously heals and the next day she attends JP and DP's wedding she wasn't really invited but no one says anything cause the groom did almost kill her last week before she miraculously survived. During the wedding dinner DPP chokes on a chicken bone. She turns blue and passes out and everybody panics except for JG who miraculously remembers the Heimlich maneuver from when they taught it to her in elementary school. So DPP miraculously survives and JG decides to become a doctor because of the sense of fulfillment she got from miraculously saving DPP's life and JP and DPP live happily ever after.

Oscar
I am calling this Oscar because 1. that is the name of the main character, but also 2. it is such a good idea that I would probably win an Oscar for it when I am done writing it. Here it goes:
So there is this troubled teen, Oscar, from a small town who just doesn't fit in with the small town way of life and he longs to escape to the city, but he is still a Junior in high school. Because he feels so trapped, and because the people of the town treat him poorly because of his differences he decides that he is going to kill himself. The problem is that he can't figure out what way he is going to do it because he wants his suicide to be special. His Mom can tell that not being able to decide how to kill himself really bothers Oscar so she puts an ad in the local paper offering $1,000 to whoever can come up with the idea for committing suicide that Oscar chooses to use.
At first there is a lot of competition within the community because everyone wants to win the money, but because Oscar still can't decide which way he wants to do it nobody wins the money. Then, unexpectedly, the town really comes together and rallies around Oscar to help him figure out how to kill himself.
Oscar feels the love and support of the whole town. And the community really bonds together because of their common goal. So Oscar gains an appreciation for his small town and decides that he doesn't want to kill himself after all.
I'm open to suggestions on the ending, but I was thinking it would be ironic and also very poignant if after he decided not to kill himself he was running to his mother's work to tell her the good news and he got hit by a car and died. The other possibility that I also really like is that when he tells everyone that he has decided not to kill himself, they are all really disappointed because his death was bringing them all together and also because they did all that work for nothing, so now everyone hates him again including his mom, so he just sticks a shotgun in his mouth and pulls the trigger. The end.
