Writing Prompt: Running
Most of us don’t regularly run except when exercising, but the act of running can add excitement or tension when used in a story. A character could be running to catch a person (friend or foe), animal (lost dog or escaped tiger), or object (blowing envelope, rolling ball, or subway train). They could be fleeing from danger — an attacker, a runaway car, a fire or an explosion. Or they might be hurrying to an amazing experience: greeting an estranged loved one, scoring a touchdown, or winning an Olympic medal.
This week, take one or more of your characters out for a run and raise the pulse of your story.
