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.
The coffee shop
Ding ding ding. The bell at the counter is ringing. "Hurry up ive been waiting for ages" the lady at the other end of the cafe is whining. "Order number 56!' the co-workers are screaming. 'Hurry up all of you' the manager is angry. The coffee machines are all bubbling. click click click the clock at the door is ticking. The ingredient containers are popping. The footsteps were rumbling.
Everything was going quickly.
It was like a machine that was programmed for one thing and knew exactly what to do.
