A pair of exercises: Wonky SF and a song given form

Writing exercises, that is.

The first is based on this premise: A pair of friends have just finished a lovely meal at a favorite restaurant, but things take a turn when one notices that the waiter has scribbled an unexpected—and startling—message on their bill.

The story I wrote for this comes in two flavors:

The End of the Meal (original)
A Slice of Life (more “sci-fi”)

The next exercise: Write a story or scene based on a song.

Laura (based on the song from Billy Joel’s album, The Nylon Curtain)
