Hidden Protagonist

Craft a flash fiction focusing on a secondary character, only to reveal in the final lines that they were the protagonist all along.

By turning your attention away from the conventional ‘hero’ towards someone on the sidelines, you’ll be able to construct a narrative that subtly shifts perspective. Explore themes like invisibility, overlooked potential, or the masks people wear. This twist ending will test your prowess in foreshadowing and dimensionality in character development.
