Challenge
Page 1, Scene 1: Setting and Mood
I thought I'd try something different with this challenge. This time I'm not giving you an exact subject or topic. This is more of an exercise in freestyle creative writing.
FIRST - Pick a setting, it can be any place... a bar, a concert, a graveyard, inside a car on a trip, some otherworldly place, etc.
SECOND - Decide on a mood for your setting... is there a party going on, a funeral taking place, a monster waiting in the dark, a desperate crew lost in space, etc.
Now, describe to me your setting and make me feel the mood in less than 250 words.
Tag me in the comments. Thanks,

It was quiet. The only sound was the discordant clicking of keys... no one looked up from their respective cubical. We all "knew" one another, yet no one cared to talk... unless necessary. A sense of familiarity borne out of routine... a half hearted second guessing. We showed up at the same time every day and the drudgery connected us... a drudgery that didn't deserve comment. To reach beyond this would be rude somehow, an impolite transgression that no one dared to traverse. The silence felt like reverence for the half-lives lived... parallel acceptance of what is... an apathetic peace.
