Anyone can join, with a 50-word vignette in the comments.
My venture:
"I wish they had put in the parks," said Tristan. "Like they were saying five years ago."

"Why?" said Talia.
"If we could see a squirrel or something not human moving. . . "
Rosa laughed. "If. Just imagine how it would be if we couldn't."
