Mondays are generally awful. So, to make our Mondays a little easier for B2MeM, we will offer two prompts on Monday. Choose whichever one you like best and, if you like them both, the second entry can be substituted for any other prompt during the month!

Day 2 Icon Think of the most dangerous situation you can face. Have you ever been in such serious danger? What is the greatest danger that you have experienced? Think or write briefly about your experiences (or lack of experiences!) with danger.

Write a story, poem or create an artwork where the characters face a great danger
or
where characters reflect on their reaction to a great danger.



What is the most tedious, routine work that you have to do? Write down a few tedious or routine tasks that you're sometimes required to perform. How does doing routine work make you feel? Would you like to have somebody do it for you?

Now write a story, poem or create an artwork where characters have to deal with tedious jobs.
