The Failure by Alana Abbott

I tried to complete "A Place You Have Never Been." The rules (in paraphrase) were to type a word into google maps and go to the first location that came up where you'd never been. Then write the word semi-permanently at that location.
My word was "paranoid."
My location? The First Baptist Church.
I wracked my brain to think of a way to do this that wouldn't make the news here. Because marking a church as paranoid? That sounds like a good way to get into trouble with the local community, if not the law. So my own paranoia ruled. I could not do this task. I could not in good conscience do this task. I could not imagine a scenario in which I wouldn't get into some sort of trouble doing this task.
So I walked by the church a couple of times, trying to find a solution. None came to me.

Ha! Alas, my Klingon is a little rusty.
I thought about doing a chalk drawing on the sidewalk in front of the building, but again was intimidated by the idea of offending the parishoners.
Perhaps you could write the word in a different language? Does Klingon have a word for paranoid?
