Welcome to the Block. Ignore the blood curdling screams and agonized pleas for mercy. That is just the students in the upper levels.

For your first assignment, craft a story/scene/chapter with the following opening.

Janice stood outside the ornately carved door, wondering if she would find the courage to knock. She was wringing her sweaty hands, and on the verge of running back to her car, when the door swung open. An elderly woman looked Janice up and down. "Please come in, Miss Gardner. Mr. Cutler is expecting you. Quickly, he doesn't like to be kept waiting."


Happy writing!
