Prompt #59

On this day in 1868, Christopher Latham Sholes received his patent for the very first typewriter.

PROMPT:
Write a story where a character invents something. It can be something that already exists (Cheetos, electricity, aspirin), or it can be something you make up. You can start the story from the moment of invention, or you can show us what happens after your character has received her patent and is ready to share her invention with the world! Either way, make sure to use specific details. How does your character feel about the product they invented? Would they use it themselves? How much do they plan to sell it for? Are there people they especially want (or don’t want) to use it?
