The Opposite

[nycwriters]

Ok, here's something fun to see if a story thread can work ...

The rules are that whatever the person wrote before you, you have to make the character/story do the opposite and still have continuity and flow with the story. The opposite can be physical direction, it can be recanting prior dialogue, it can be grammatically backwards, just as long as the "direction" of the story is visibly opposite of the sentence prior. Write what it's worth -- it can be a paragraph or just one word. Whatever you feel works.

It'll be an interesting experiment.
