The exercise:

Write something that takes place in: Venice.

Sorry for the lack of comments the last couple of days - I'm fighting some internet issues over here. I'll try to get to them tomorrow.

Mine:

Night has fallen and I fear it's only a matter of time before I do as well - right into one of these bloody canals. How are there no railings to prevent people from wandering right into them once all the lights go out? They'd never allow this back home.

Which way is it back to the hotel, anyway? Is that the building I was supposed to turn right at? God, they all look the same during the day - how did I ever expect to manage this in the dark? There's not even anyone around to ask for directions!

I'm sure to get mugged before this is all over. Maybe even murdered. Then I'll end up in a canal for sure.

Might as well try this way. Better than standing here all night, at any rate. And what's the worst that could -
