Write a narrative about a humorous situation. Whether you focus on a real event or make up a fictional one, you must use comedic
techniques and rich description to bring the experience to life. You'll start with a narrator who has a clear perspective, even if the narrator is you. Then you'll build the scene from the ground up: You'll describe the setting using imagery that appeals to the senses, you'll bring out characters' personalities with realistic dialogue, and you'll use certain comedic techniques, like the ones Mark Twain uses, to introduce some humor.

The entire journey was about 10 feet, but it felt like it took around 10 minutes for her to make that slide.

I smiled while I wait for her reaction, which is a mixture of tears, laughter, and sheer embarrassment. I finally get the ability to laugh to the ridiculousness of her and this moment, sliding like a seal into the radiator. It was the most graceful thing I've ever seen her do.
