EXERCISE: What do you say?

Original Posting 2022/3/13

We recently had lunch with the wife of a man we have known for quite a few years. He had died recently, less than a month before. And there's the puzzle, which I thought you might like to play with in your story...

1. Imagine a set of characters, and their interactions. Perhaps they have taken trips together, or whatever. And...

2. One of the characters has died. And now, the others are getting together for a lunch, dinner, night out... you decide what they are doing...

3. And tell us what they say to each other. Perhaps one of them has photos from their travels to share? Or at the very least, memories...

I suppose it's a bit dark, but we actually had a pretty good meal. We talked about the various times we had traveled together, and what they remembered. We also looked at photo albums which his wife had kept, and laughed about those young folks and what all they got into...

So, take that party of characters for a time, and see how they deal with the death of one of their members.

Write!
