Create a scene which explains the line, “Don’t let false modesty make you retreat from your own excellence.” — Steven Barnes

Paint splattered on a canvas... — Writing.Com

To get the story straight, Dave, we think, has become a chicken. Just the worst of luck with that guy. Tom is claiming he married the futon that’s now covered in yogurt, Carl is on the chandelier with the dog and you just walked in after getting groceries.

Sometimes the gifts we receive may seem plain or simple at first—another book, bag, pair of pants, or electronic gadget—but end up changing our lives in unexpected ways.

Does using the gift result in a domino effect of unforeseen consequences? Is something surprising revealed about the gift giver? — PW.Org
