WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a fast-paced scene that takes place during a rush hour.

There doesn't need to be a dramatic plot, but think about how you can create and maintain a busy and rushed feeling in a short story.

Drowning In Daylight

Too many people. They surround me. Footsteps. It rings in my ears. Its too much. I want to scream. Too many colors. I'm drowning. A whirlwind of people. Voices fill my ears. I can't think. I push against the current. Its no use. Sun shines on my face. In my eyes. I can't see. I fall. Shadows cover me. Then the sunlight. Then shadows again. It flickers. Constantly. A boot. On my stomach. In my face. On my arm. An explosion of pain. I shriek. It stops.
