Game Day

            There are individuals who enjoy creating games. All kinds of games: computer games, board games, card games and outdoors physical games. They have incredible imaginations. They can see the overall scope of a game, from the beginning to end, the obstacles that make the game interesting, the players’ skills and abilities, and the setting under which the game is played.

            Many people prefer purchased games because all they have to do is spread out the pieces or long on to play.

            Some families have official game days in which groups join together to play one game, then reform around another. Others prefer to play individually, on the computer or tablet.

            Your task is to write a story in which the playing of games is a major part of the action. To add tension, include actions by players that lead to disagreements, perhaps even physical altercations.

            Use dialogue to control the ebb and flow, ever increasing the agitation and anger of the players.

            Have fun with this one.
