It’s time for another flash challenge! This time it’s another tradition/ritual template. What do people do when they go out in your world? Pick a culture in your world and tell us what they do outside of their own houses for their leisure time. If you have already filled out the Advent prompt 2020 for a “leisure building” or the Summer Camp 2021 prompt for a pleasure settlement you can connect these articles if you want to.

It’s not a man’s working hours that is important, it is how he spends his leisure time.
—Marilynne Robinson

Leisure time

By Taylor Smith

Do the people of your culture enjoy some kind of a sport? Horse or People racing? Do they go to a specific building to enjoy their time off from work or school? What do they do there and is there a special age range? Which people enjoy their free time together? Do they watch a movie or go to the theater? Some other kind of entertainment where they just sit and enjoy or do they participate with their own body? How often do they enjoy this leisure time? Once a week, every day, or something in between?

As a youth, I spent three nights a week at a martial arts center and several other people on different walks of their lives did as well. A lot of youths visit the skating park in my city every night. A lot of adults go out to drink at their favorite joint two times a week. What do the people of your world do?
