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.

Rushing To Wait

People are fucking obsessed with their horns.

BEEEEEP. BEEEEEEEEEEP!

As if their noise is going to unclog

the highway arteries

and get things flowing freely again.

It’s not.

Pathways are filled with heart disease,

Sludge that abuses its right to operate

a machine that honks.

Rushing to wait, hoping

a cacophony will bring peace.
