January 29 "The Five Dollar Bill"
A five dollar bill changes hands five times in one day. Make a list of where, when, who hands it over, and for what. For example:
~Where: Starbucks, New Jersey Turnpike
~When: 7:30 am;
~Who: Bob, a truck driver;
~What: a cup of coffee (black) and a bean burrito.
If you can complete this exercise in less than five minutes, go back and add more detail to describe the places and the people.

Starting now:
Where: McDonalds off a nearby interstateWhen: 5amWho: Jim, road-tripping back to see his parents after a 3 year absenceWhat: 2 Sausage Biscuits and a large coffeeWhere: Mcdonalds off a nearby interstateWhen: 6:17 amWho: Sam, the McDonalds clerk working the drive-through registerWhat: Payback - angry at his boss for yelling at him, he takes the money from the register and pockets it.Where: Corner of Senate and Park St.When: 2:28 pmWho: Millins, the dealer Steve buys pot fromWhat: Part of the payment for some 'comfort' for the weekend.Where: Movie TheaterWhen: 5:15pmWho: Rachel, the clerk at the ticket officeWhat: A ticket to see a movie with his girlfriend
And... time.
I thought I knew what the last stage was going to be - but on reflection, Rachel would've needed a reason to be taking money from her register, and I've already had one person steal the bill already. Five minutes went by kindof fast on this one.
