20 minute writing exercise

As my debut post this is what I was working on in class as a 30 minute writing exercise.
I didn’t feel confident writing a drama or a horror in that time frame however I did try and put together a mildly amusing skeleton of a sketch comedy:

Young Male aged 22-30.

Story about the misadventures of his own life.

Young man at a bar with a friend discussing their lives
young man believes he is a bit of a rutt so his friend tries to make suggestions
meanwhile this young man is distracted by a girl he sees at the bar
The girl accidentally drops her purse so he goes and picks it up and awkwardly chases after her
makes awkward but endearing chit chat with the girl while she suggests a coffee to pay him back
he shyly agrees
returns to the friend and briefly mentions the girl while friend continues to ramble on about suggestions for new things.
friend tries to convince him to start yoga for health and to meet people
man believes yoga studio is an old gay night club
friend convinces him it is not and it is now a hip hop yoga studio
man goes to yoga but isn’t sure of attire so wears singlet and old footy shorts from school
starts yoga and finds the class increasingly uncomfortable in its positions
overtly sexual poses
finished the yoga session confused and unsure if he should come back
cuts to the girl he met at a bar and her walking down the street speaking of the young man the previous night with her friend
Girl sees the young man coming out of the yoga studio in his head band singlet and footy shorts shocked
friend of girl tells her it is a gay night club and gives her condolences to the girl.
