First Assignment for Frozen North

[Dragon's muse]

Your first assignment is to write a short story or scene that begins with this line.


There was a collective groan in the airport lounge; the loudspeaker announced that, due to weather, all departing flights were cancelled until further notice.

And there was a groan from frozen_north's computer. A voice came over the loudspeaker saying "Due to vapor lock, we will be banging our head on a desk until further notice. We will conclude this flight with twelve hours of frantic scribbling..."

Thank you, I'll get right on it.

Btw, please tell me this doesn't have to have a bdsm element. I don't know enough about the subject yet to write about it convincingly. Not to mention the fact that I can't even begin to IMAGINE how I would work that element into the assignment at hand...

it is your story, it has whatever you want to have in it.

Oh and someone famous once said that writing is staring at a blank sheet of paper until beads of blood break out on your forehead.

Then get me a bandage, or more correctly, several of them.
