I have had 16 cats throughout my life. Their back stories have been as different as their personalities. They were/are, of course, all beautiful and intelligent, but only a few have figured out how to open doors. Three, to be exact. Our cats are all indoor cats and the ones who are able to open doors only do so on inside doors (although Banshee could open the front door, he only ever showed off when one of his humans was there to be impressed).
For this prompt, I would like you to think about an action that you don't even think about, such as opening a door. Break it down into its literal steps. Then bust out the metaphors!
You can create a piece that is not in any way a realistic process for doing something, but an imaginative directive that in reality would not work. Or you could explain/show why it is impossible for you to do this particular task.
If you don't want to open a door, here are a few suggestions:
put on a hat
wash dishes
start your car
walk up or down stairs
push an elevator button
water a plant
sew a button on a shirt
Really try and stay away from actually giving directions that could be followed.
Have fun!
