Every day I will write the very beginning of a story, a paragraph or a whole page, without worrying about where it might lead. "Nulla dies sine linea," I hope!

If you could be any item in Wal-Mart, what would you be and why?
Shani was tired. She felt her way through the shoe department's opening procedures using muscle memory more than her brain, but she had never needed to use her brain much at her job. The mornings came early, especially after a hard night's sleep in her car. Every day she slept in her car made her bones ache more, and last night, she could barely sleep at all. At two in the morning, some drunk teenaged boys noticed her and banged on her hood and trunk until she managed to lay on the horn and threaten them loud enough with the cops. They ran, not knowing Shani would never call because the police would have hassled her, too, for living in her car and parking overnight were she shouldn't.
