Claudia read over the creative writing assignment one more time with a grimace plastered to her face. The project required introspection, but she hated writing about herself. She didn’t want to “dig deep” like the instructions told her to do. Probing your depths was as dangerous as hitchhiking on a lonely stretch of highway. You never knew who was in the next car, and you made yourself too vulnerable. Claudia crumpled up the assignment sheet and closed her book.
