WRITING OBSTACLE
Describe a city that is built entirely on water.
Consider how the city's location on water would affect the architecture, the transportation, and the daily life of the people living there. You could base this on a real place or create a new world!
A Drop.
They say
We are hurtling
Down.
I still wake each morning
Put on my coffee
Read my paper
And sit at my window.
They say
We are hurtling
Down.
I still call to my neighbor
Walk to my car
Motor to work
And sit at my window.
They say
We are hurtling
Down.
I still drive home in darkness
Order in pizza
Turn on the tv
And sit at my window.
They say
We are hurtling
Down.
I still clean up my dishes
Brew up some Twinings
Pick up a novel
And sit at my window.
Thunder claps
Lightning snaps
And I see
Through my window
The pavement
Drawing
Closer…
SPLAT.
