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.
Drive
The call came from the highway department that day
The three lanes of the road was blocked no drive way
Some construction incident with only one way out
There was panic and tears and made traffic shout
Half of the island left work early to avoid the rush
I left my job at 4 pm and had to wait no huge bus
We sat in our cars and the wait began as time flew
The cars just didn’t move as batteries juice blew
The men in blue gave out tickets to those on their phone
They were just trying to tell loved ones they would be alone
I just sat there in my Toyota truck reading a tattered book
I was so tired and finally got home at midnight without a look
