Write about a character witnessing or participating in something which reminds them of a similar moment in their childhood. Let the present action inspire the character’s emotional response as they remember a time past, and discover how that emotion effects how they perceive the present action. This tale could really weave itself like a French braid, twisting over itself several times as the story unfolds. Give this exercise at least fifteen minutes of your time.
Write it up and see what happens.
