Now, you find yourself enmeshed in a financial modeling training course, and you’re getting real world experience. Unfortunately, you’re getting a growing sense of unease about whether you’re ready for this life. What’s your problem? What are you feeling? What are your coworkers like?

The year is 1978. The scene? A packed disco on a hot summer night. Music is pounding, bodies are close together and sweaty, and everyone seems to be having the time of their life…on the surface. Something bad is going on, though. Sinister looking men spread around the exits…a worried looking man at the bar…and then the music comes to a sudden stop.
What is happening? Does the crowd have any idea? Who is your character among the chaos?

You’re working on the snowy set of an upcoming movie. It’s cold, it’s late, and everyone is determined to get the last shot before calling it a night. In one take, the director yells, “Action!” and everything starts as usual. The only problem is that the lead actress doesn’t come out on cue.
Where is she? What happened?

You’re standing near the water on a crowded San Francisco pier. Suddenly, a seagull swoops down from above and stops right next to you. He looks at you in that funny way that only seagulls can master, and as you stare back, you notice something on his leg – it’s a tiny scroll, secured with a ribbon.
The scroll contains a message. What does it say? Is it for you? What does it mean?

You wake up and find yourself back in your childhood bedroom. You are understandably startled, and when you look in the mirror, you see your adult self. However, when you leave your bedroom, you realize that everyone regards you as a child, and it seems as though you have somehow traveled back in time to the year you were 8.
What do you do with this newfound chance at childhood? Do you spend the day blowing bubbles and jumping in puddles? Do you visit dead relatives? Do you do something differently? Give us 100 words or more in the comments – or post at your own blog and let us know the link!

You’ve decided to spend a weekend exploring the countryside by car. You’ve packed a picnic (though you might be open to a local restaurant if a good opportunity presents itself), you’ve picked out some great tunes for the ride, and you’ve started on your journey. The weather is beautiful.
Then your car breaks down. Your cell phone isn’t getting a signal, so you start walking. After a while, you start to give up on ever getting a signal so you decide to approach a house that you see in the distance. What happens next?
