PROMPT #11: INVITATION

We will meet at dawn, at the corner in front of the music store. Dress warmly, even if it isn’t cold. Wear strong shoes. Bring a thesaurus, a pocketful of small stones, a sandwich with no mayonnaise or radishes. Do not wear a wristwatch; a pocket watch is okay. You will not need a water bottle, or matches, or cupcakes. Please remember not to bring a notebook. If you forget, it will be confiscated and not returned. All transportation will be provided, but you will be expected to tip the chimney sweep. Ten percent should be plenty. Expect porta-potties but no phone service. You will be allowed to feed the bears, but giving money to the mimes is strongly discouraged. We will return to the corner promptly at midnight. There should be someone you trust waiting.
