So this assignment was basically Foreshadowing. How can I as a writer and story teller set up something in one scene and have it happen or come into effect later?
Here is an example of Foreshadow:
He glanced at the knife on the counter, but instead of putting it away he went and stretched out on the couch .
-A Scene or Two Later-
The deranged serial killer silently took the sharp knife from the counter and slowly approached the man sleeping on the couch.
as you can see I didn't spend too much time on the knife. Foreshadowing is sometimes a character's after thought, meaning it doesn't have to stand out too much. Foreshadowing can be simple or it could be more complex like Sherlock Holmes and the breathing apparatus or a student leaving their homework on the table as they leave for school.
:) so much for going to bed earlier.
Day 52 completed.
