All sorts of things happen to people when they’ve had a few too many drinks. Lord knows I’ve had my fair share of memory hiccups. I’ve lost my favourite scarf twice, woken up with a cigarette burn on my wrist (on the inside where it really hurts), found a blue woolen glove in my handbag, a newspaper clipping about Celtic football club and a cut that needed stitches.
Try writing about a character that wakes up to find some strange items in their pockets. Have them retrace the night’s events. What happened and how did these items find their way into your character’s possession?
Locker key
Digital Camera
Match book
A chocolate egg
A cat’s flea collar and I.D. tag
Have fun.
