"The previous night she'd heard an owl hooting behind the little house, which had put her to sleep." - Sandra Birdsell, The Russlander
What puts you to sleep? Cuban music, counting goats? ASMR haircut roleplays? Frog song? Choose one thing and get inside the experience, open it up. Or maybe try a list poem.
A stranger bares their soul to you (or your character) about the greatest turning point in their life - their dark night of the soul. Something happens and you are unable to extricate yourself from this person or the situation.
Where does this occur? On a Tinder date? In an elevator? At the playground? At Burning Man? What were the circumstances surrounding this turning point? What happens to cause you (or your character or speaker) to become linked to this person?
