Out of Place - The Write Practice. I don’t know if it was the black eyes of the people watching me or the way everything looked dark and overused in that city, but I was ill at ease, as if restlessness could be defined by a leg that wouldn’t stop bouncing under the table and an imagination that predicted I would be mugged.

He was a black man but had sounded Hispanic over the phone. He sat down in front of me.“Sorry for being late,” he said, “Your wife told me about what happened. You want to see it?”He showed me the merchandise, that nefarious thing I’d driven to the city for, the thing I couldn’t live without.“It looks good.

The banks are closed, man.”“It’s fine.”I hit up the grocery store first, dropping a half- dozen bagels on the dirty conveyor belt in that dimlit place. What’s your cash back limit,” I asked.“One hundred dollars,” said the uninterested checker.“Great,” I said. The bank was next. Following Series 3 Episode Guide.

I pulled my daily limit. With that, and with what I already I had, I think I would have enough.

Alright, meet you at the Starbucks at 7th.”When I pulled in, he was already there, his tall figure in my headlights cutting a column of light against the black. I parked illegally and he sauntered over, pulling what I wanted out of the bag and handing it to me. I put it in the front seat and handed him the dirty cash. He counted it in the parking lot, then shook my hand and left.

Thanks for bearing with me. The story above is about my trek to Atlanta to buy a used computer I found on Craigslist. The whole time, I felt like I was in The French Connection doing a drug deal.

You don’t have those lenses over your eyes that tell you what to ignore and what to notice. We writers can be social misfits. While sometimes that’s uncomfortable, it gives us a creative edge. When you’re an outsider, you see things others don’t. When have you felt out of place?

How can you capture that experience in words? PRACTICEWrite about a time you felt out of place, awkward, and uncomfortable.

Try not to focus on your feelings, but project your feelings onto the things around you (for example, in the story above, I talked about darkness again and again because I felt confused and uncomfortable most of the day). Write for fifteen minutes.

When you’re finished, post your practice in the comments.
