The author gives you the following information:

Challenge for writers, by Bonet Graphic Designs
Write a mini news story from the headline below.
Make up the characters, setting, details, etc.
You have to make it sound like a real news article (online or printed) – so it needs to attract the audience, inform and not be too long (300-500 words).
Your headline:
Massive traffic jam on Interstate Highway
Have fun!
Remember to post your story/design no later than Saturday by 11:59 pm. If you want me to post it for you, please e-mail it to me by Friday so I have enough time!
