This came off a Facebook post back on Friday. The prompt was:
A knock at the door, someone comes in to the female character's office. Who is it?
"Package for you, Ma'am," says the bike courier. "Your friends must have a sense of humor, though. It says it's vitally important that you not open it until you get back to last Wednesday."
"My friends?" She checks the name on brown paper wrapper, but it's definitely addressed to her. "My friends aren't that weird."
"Well, maybe the Doctor needs your help."
She looks at him blankly.
"Doctor Who? TV show?"
"Oh. I've never watched it."
"Hm," says the courier. "Well, maybe you need better friends, then. 'Cause... that's pretty funny."
"Can I just sign your thing so you can go?" she asks, exasperated not so much at the criticism of her friends and her lifestyle, as at the sneaking suspicion that he might be right about her.
"Sure," he says. "Sorry." He hands her the pad, watches her sign it, and then hands her a card. "Hey, do me a favor? If you do find out what it was, text me?"
"...Maybe," she says, but she takes the card and slips it into her purse.
