Story Prompts Of Characters

What would you look at being the character?  What feelings and experiences would it inspire?

1) Your character’s a criminal defense attorney who travels between courthouses to defend clients of every kind.  Many clients seem surprisingly unconcerned about their situations.  Your character decides he will have to take matters in his own hands and find out about their situations for himself. For him using every tactic, law is about justice and saving his own life.

2) Your character is a criminologist, in the field of forensics.  A police detective is assisting and at times challenging him.  He has to choose sides with clues reaching back into the cities dark past, of a killer madwoman who won’t stop.

3) Your character a weather investigator is summoned to another country to analyze mysterious noises—recently sound only has battered the outside of homes.  He discovers evidence that may be extraterrestrial.  Historically a powerful documented civilization that has surfaced to carry out its final phase against its most hated enemies, the new world order.

4) Your characters mother who is about to get married is in a mysterious car crash. Everything on hold the small family to be vacations across country.  They encounter volcanic refugees on their strange journey.  Adventurous encounters are gripping as they make their way back home.

5) Your character is sailing toward a foreign land to claim his century’s old birthright when the vessel is captured.  Treachery from a mainland powerful dark organization may be the cause of the savage ship capture. Your character is offered a choice.

Tension By Revealing Writing Technique

As the story unfolds the increasing size of something or less extensive than it first appears is one tension technique.  The following example is an excerpt from my latest Thriller book.

On one of the turns she happened to glance up above the

tree line. In the sky there was a white disc object; red fiery

hollow rings started to come from it. Actually it seemed they

were coming closer, and were growing larger the closer they

got to her.

She turned a corner and the disc was covered by a mountain

ridge. That’s better she thought, I’ll bet Jay has never seen anything

like that. Wait until I tell him about it, I know he’s into

physics. What fun he’ll be so excited to know what is flying

just north of his city. She took another drink of white chocolate

mocha coffee.

Anna drove many miles as the curved highway 101 followed

the coastline. She rounded a curve to find herself in the strange

swirls of a misty fog bank. She saw light blue areas in the white

fog. Farther into the fog she slowed her car down.

Small water droplets began hitting her windshield from

the thick fog. She could see the fog droplets were rotating

in a light blue glow as they generated in mid-air just in front

of her car. The droplets were spiral spreading outward and

became smaller.

Anna realized her simple drive south had become a

white knuckle ride to stay on the highway, in almost stop

driving conditions.

Slow driving through the strange thick fog for over an hour,

brought her out into a thin mist that sparkled with gold sun

streaks. Anna felt a sweep of relief; finally she had navigated

out of the strange fog.

Somehow the air had changed from moist and cold to heat

with no transition. She turned her heater off while the outside

air heat increased reminding her of a desert in summer.

Ahead above the highway the sky looked anything but

normal. Earths blue sky had a green sparkle that swept over

and showered down through it.

Anna decided earth must have taken a near direct hit from a

gigantic solar flare. Even her cars radio had news stations that

were talking about the sun’s increased solar activity.

She hoped the high temperatures would return to normal

soon. The crescent shape flare rapidly swept in a point toward

the west, its heat effect and sparkling green had disappeared.

Anna didn’t expect the drive from Coos Bay, Oregon to

Crescent City, California to be unpleasant. She hadn’t realized

the weather would transform her trip into a terrifying series

of events.

Driving time passed quietly with nothing more out of the

ordinary. She was almost alone on the highway; she noticed

that few cars had driven past her. She turned the heater on

again; the open ocean air once again was still cool in the

late spring.

Stories Goal With insight

Insight adds into the speaker’s personal issues, the nature of his or her relationship to another character, and also can illustrate an aspect of the story’s thematic message.  New experiences reveal surprises as new interpretations and understandings are exposed through the journey. The following excerpt from my latest Thriller book.

As their space craft cleared the mountains,

Lieutenant Ilyon clicked on the computer imaging map of targeted

Earth areas.

“Lieutenant Ilyon, direct our craft to my chosen cargo

release point,” ordered Captain Nar. Project ships wavelengths

to burn a clear path on Earth's surface for 90 earth miles now.”

“We are now underway as you ordered,” confirmed Ilyon.

“All wavelengths are set Captain Nar. Green vegetation will

shrivel and crumble to dust as we pass over it.”

Battle Craft in Nar's fleet were all the same. A disc craft

with a semi-flattened dome was above the war rooms. One

third of the inner lower dome displayed targeted earth areas,

inter-dimensional travel paths and systems within the universes.

The center of the dome could be cleared for viewing any

area of interest.

Outer skin of the craft played an important part in projection

of opposing particles. Those particles changed as all space

is not the same, resulting in propulsion of the craft.

Sensors constantly monitored outer changing particles to

interact with the projection system. The result was direction and speed.
A separate projection system was used

to direct circular hollow fiery rings or emanate overall wavelengths,

for destruction of their intended targets.

Inside the craft was grey in color. The crew’s quarters took

up a portion of the outside ring for a number of over two

thousand crew members. One smaller section of the lower

inner level opened outward for craft access. The center outside

diameter had porthole viewing windows from an outer white

color craft.

“Contact the fleet Lieutenant Ilyon. Increase the suns

wavelengths and earths volcanic seismic wavelength activity.

Both wavelengths will penetrate through all of Earths slower

moving particles.”

His light brown eyes oddly sparkled in the light, Nar continued,

“Increase with the sun until people lose consciousness.

They will wake up with some memory loss. The volcanic irradiation

wavelengths will heat through people, until their skin

is red.”

Ilyon threw a contemptuous look at the viewing screens, the

lids of his light brown eyes narrowed. “Captain Nar, you need

my assistance. With selected map areas of coverage; earth’s

population will not suspect, there are intelligent wavelength

controlling sources. Alternate the wavelengths intensity intermittently,

around the planet. Earth will have more frequent

earthquakes and storms, both will intensify.”

“Of course,” Nar agreed reflectively glancing at the screens.

“I can certainly understand that. This will plunge the world

into a time of global crisis. Permission is granted Ilyon your

suggestion is accepted. Monitor the various light frequencies

and reactions of the nearest space objects and the diffuse

plasma clouds, there may be subtle changes. We don’t want to

attract any surprise guests.”

Abruptly Ilyon turned to the bank of controls and contacted

the battle group. He licked his lips as he entered the additional

order to alternate the wavelengths intermittently. He turned

back to Nar, “I have ordered the battle group to complete your

requested task,” Ilyon said calmly.

“They have acknowledged. All Battle Group wavelengths

have been fired simultaneously. Our dimension has increased

interactive wavelength intensity and will maintain the

increase,” Ilyon said.

Low conversation among crew members in the crafts war

room went silent. They knew complete destruction of earth

was coming.

A door slid open and crew members came into the war

room. They gathered and watched the viewing screens. It had

started, the long awaited for time when all of their hard work

would be completed at once.

Crew could now see as they stood under the overhead

dome, a long arching arm of one gigantic sparkling solar flare.

It was rapidly reaching out in a travel path through black space

toward earth.

The flare one of many to come would add electromagnetism

to earths causing more earthquake swarms with increased

quake magnitudes.

Earths only relief would be in its rotation. Flares would

unbalance earth’s electric charges; sweeping more away in daylight

than night hours could accumulate.
