Curveballs
Keep the story going. Every so often, one of these lands and you must weave it in without missing a beat:
- ‘now it's raining money’
- ‘a friendly stranger knows your name’
- ‘the floor is suddenly lava’
- ‘everyone is seven years old again’
- ‘the lights go out’

Give your story its title, its one-line tagline, and the funny little moral that nobody asked for.
