[CLOSAT] S IS FOR SITUATION

What is this?
This is the fourth of a series of Creative Writing exercises. There will be seven (7) topics/parts to the series, this being the fourth, and all are aimed at creation.

This fourth episode will focus on creating a situation.


What are we creating?
This time, as the topic header states, we'll be creating a situation. Each person who joined previously will be tasked with making one. Just one, mind you.

You'll do this like so:

- Look behind you. What you see first will be your word.
- Using that word, create a word web* of at least 20 words.
- At the end of your web, take the last word and create a situation with it.
- Post it in this thread.
- Profit?
- I'll add my examples in the situation section.
- This Sunday will be the deadline. That is September 17th.

Situations can range from creative or uncreative - whichever you like.
In this case a situation is something that causes an event or conflict or moves the story onwards. The situation itself can be an event or conflict, but it would be of large significance in the story. For example: Falling off a cliff or missing the last train or accidentally breaking your date's nose. These are all different situations.

*A word web is a brainstorming tool where you start with one word and connect other words to it, then more others to those words. Eventually it ends up looking like a messy spiderweb. A few examples:

Once your situation is done, it will be added to the topic. You don't need to add your word web, but you may if you wish.
