Howard Tayler (of Schlock Mercenary fame -- http://www.schlockmercenary.com/ -- yes, it's a webcomic with enormous archives) tweets... and one of his recent ones caught my attention:
Overheard: "We all came in a little bit late because of the sheep. Oh, and the chipmunk."
Now, imagine a setting. Diner, perhaps a hotel lobby, what would you like? And some characters. And one of them comes in and tosses down that line of dialogue.
What happens next? And, of course, what exactly is that backstory of sheep and chipmunk and delay?
Go ahead, write a bit.
