Have you ever noticed that when things are finally running smoothly, something goes wrong?

            The car gets a flat. The washing machine overflows. A pipe bursts. A friendship self-destructs.

            How you handle it, how you react, says a lot about your character.

            The same is true for the people in your stories. When faced with difficulty, does your character run away or face it? Does he strike out with fist or walk away? Does she throw dishes against a wall or take a walk?

            Your task is to write a story in which and obstacle arises, something large enough to cause a degree of unrest.

            Have fun with this one.
