Change the names, diddle with their personalities and so forth, but base this on three people you know. Before you go any further, write down at least their names. [Hah! Before you go any further, pick the three people. Thought you could fool the teacher, eh? the magic eye of inspired knowledge sees all, knows all, and besides, I would have tried to skip ahead without picking the people, too...so pick your people. Write those three names down. Got it?] These three people are traveling together. And the beginning of the story is: It was the only motel for miles, but when they tried to stop there, the sign said "No Vacancy." Where are they going? And what happens when they can't stay in the motel? Tell us about these three, their aspirations, their perspirations, their inspirations, expirations, and suspirations, even their respirations...and don't forget their interrelations...all around that full motel...and the night that never was. One twist would be for one of them to have a secret--fear, desire, problem, you decide what kind of secret--which is revealed through the lack of a room. Tell us a story, okay? tink
