In the writers workshop I'm doing we have to write a short 500-750 word piece every week.

Last week it was:

Setting: A pet store
Characters: Two
Action: Someone is buying a pet

This week it is:

Setting: A convenience store
Characters: Two or three.
Action: Someone is stealing something.

I got through the pet store one by using a different meaning of "pet" , and I have an idea to make the second one interesting, but geez, is next week's assignment going to be two characters in a used car lot buying a car?
