Your writing prompt · pull and pressure
Write five or six sentences about a moment of pull and pressure: a hard job that would not let up, a machine that hauled something heavy, a distraction you had to fight, or a situation that felt ready to erupt. Use at least four of this unit's words: extraction, tractor, extract, distract, compact, volatile, relentlessly, marginally. Tell us where the pull came from and how the pressure finally broke.
We are not after the tensest story. We are after yours, told in your own words.
Aim for about 5 sentences.
