aka the resurrection shuffle?
Watching the Arts channel recently, and a phrase from the opera in progress
caught my eye.
Here's the premise. Suppose that (heaven, magic, advanced medical technology, the whim of the whisp, something) has brought our protagonist back from the dead, for 24 hours. One extra day.
What do they do with that day? Who do they see, where do they go, why do they do these things?
A simple tale, but what would you do with one more day?
Go ahead, ponder it, mix well with characterization, scenery, a good shot of plot and plunder, and let the words jell.
Write!
