Ten years ago, we did NaNoWriMi—National Novel Writing Minute—on this forum for the first time. Wanna do it again? If so, write as much of a novel as you can in one minute, then post it here. If you do, I will give you high praise and validation!
Rules and example from ten years ago:

Yes, you read that correctly. I wanted to do something to show solidarity with my NaNoWriMo friends, so I invented “NaNoWriMi.” You see how much of a novel you can write in a minute (hence the “Mi”), and then you abandon it forever. 1, 2, 3, go…

Last Moon at Aggathor

Yes, that's how I spelled "accomplishment." You think I'm wasting precious seconds on spellchecking?

I'm not a vampire per se. More of a blood-drinker. Vampires have fangs. I didn't get so lucky. In fact, these loosey-goosey dentures really aren't helping matters.
I just saw your thread:

Post Apocalyptic Debt Collector

The gang emerged from the twisted metal of a 200 year old parking deck. The old man needed a return on his investment and Clark knew how to get it. Susan's metal boot crunched
[edit]
I didn't finish the last sentence because I ran out of time. But it would have been "Susan's metal boot crunched down on a shard of broken glass." Or something like that, dunno now.
Who is Clark and who is Susan? There is a gang, so we can assume a few more of them are around. What is in the sunlit windows of the buildings across the street? Do they think they are being watched by potential adversaries?
I need more than a 1 minute. The people have got to know!
