Imagine that you are driving to an unfamiliar place. So far, everything has gone according to plan. The exit appeared when you expected it to, the street on which to turn showed up just as the directions said. But as soon as you made the turn, you realize this was not where you were supposed to be.

            You expected an office complex, but instead find yourself in an old part of town, where junk litters every yard and groups of young men laze about porch steps. A drunk stumbles down the street, weaving in and out of a row of old cars parked along the curb.

            You don’t know what went wrong.

            Your task is to write that story. Your readers will want to be with you, from when you happily left home until that feeling of being lost washes over you.

            Have fun with this one.
