How I love a great twist. I enjoy surprising my reader, but it’s not always easy to come up with those last few lines which turns the story on its head. A good way to think of an outlandish twist is to free write about your characters. What if? That seems to throw up some crazy schemes if you just let go of “that couldn’t possibly happen.”
I’d love to write a story
One that you’d never guess.
The ending, will be gory,
A shocking, surprising, mess.
I’d love to hear that gasp, “Oh no!”
I never saw that coming. Did you?
Yes, I thought as much, although,
He did his best to fool you
He’s messing with my mind,
With all those twists and bends.
Leads me down those allies blind
With clues that show dead ends.
A well known master of the twist
Is what I’d love to be.
I’d be subtle, but my antagonist
Killed using the fruit of a poisonous tree!
What? You didn’t see that coming
You really thought it was the maid?
I find that very comforting.
You followed all the paths I’d laid.
