The exercise:
Welcome to November, the 2017 edition.
Trying something new today which I hope shall become a reoccurring feature: the scenario prompt. Essentially I will be giving you a starting scenario to work with and then each of you can take it where your inspiration leads you to go.
So here's today's scenario:
On the evening of October 31st, 2017, Arthur Dylan Diaz fell asleep in his bed, tucked snugly beneath warm, familiar blankets. On the morning of November 1st, 2017, he woke up somewhere else entirely.
