Take a letter of the alphabet, choose a word that begins with it and then keep going.

A stray ant – otherwise why on my counter top? – ran a twisted course around the glass I was about to pour the juice from one lemon into.

I ran along grass verges to a sandy beach and judged how far the waves, their weaker laps lapping the shore, would come in and whether I would get my feet wet.

I closed the gate on my way in.

There. That’s today!
