Every Tuesday I post a writing prompt and my response. It gives me a chance to exercise my writing muscles outside of my WIP, and hopefully inspire you to write. So enjoy my flash fiction piece and post your own in the comments!

Response
Whenever I study for a test I try to envision the end goal. What is the purpose of the test. What I am I to learn, what are my teachers to gauge about my knowledge and skill. Then I prepare. You have to be ready to encounter all sorts of obstacles, the human mind is a mine field of traps and diversions. You could easily get lost, lose yourself if you are not careful. The tests are designed to push you to the very limit, beyond what you would find in the average scan. As Professor Denar would say - "If you are prepared for the most dangerous, the safe is that much safer."
"Beyond what you would find in the average scan"...I think this explains about 90% of my college exams...and why I failed them :)
