Tip for the day

Assignment for writing course arrived today. It is as follows:

Here are the instructions for your assignment:  

Write a piece of fiction of no more than 1000 words in length.  This can either be based on something you wrote during the course, or inspired by one of the exercises we did, or based on something you're already working on. The piece must include 

i) some description of a place or person, if possible with a metaphorical dimension to it,

ii) some dialogue, drawing on the idea of dialogue as action, and 

iii) a sense of the main character's key goal and key obstacle. 

The deadline is 24th May and please remember to attach your cover sheet with the assignment.

I am accepting offers from anyone who wants to do it for me.
