It’s time to flex your writing muscles and have a little fun with words. Even if you’re not a writer at heart, give it a try: write a story (500 words or less) based on the following passage:
When Jean saw the man in the black business suit, she stopped, held her breath and prayed that he would not look up from his cell phone. Not wasting another moment, she hurried and ducked out of sight behind the garbage dumpster.
