After this week’s post about jumping into the middle of a story, I thought I’d go the whole hog:

The Prompt

Start At The End
Start your story with the character walking away from a situation (figuratively-speaking) and then go back and explain how he/she got there.

Tips

• Think of TV shows that start with a funny/dramatic scene and then jump back to “eight hours earlier”
• Feel free to use stage directions like that, if it helps
• Maybe you could tell the entire story backwards (“three hours earlier”, “three hours earlier still”). It might not work, but it could be interesting
