Overheard Conversation
Use any of the following snippets of dialogue as an “overheard conversation” story starter. In other words, start off a short story or scene by imagining that your main character has just overheard the following brief snapshot out of someone else’s conversation:
- “That’s when I realized that if I didn’t kill her, someone else would. And I couldn’t let that happen.”
- “She was the most beautiful little girl I’d ever seen. It was a pity, really.”
- “I’m telling you, he was there. I know he was dead, but he was standing right at the foot of my bed, clear as day.”
- “Go ahead. Open it. You don’t have to be afraid.”
