Playing With Perspective

Write a scene which is intensely dramatic, but from the viewpoint of an indifferent, uninvolved bystander.

The narrative perspective has a significant effect on shaping the drama of a scene. By focusing on an uninvolved character’s perspective, you can create a unique narrative twist. It highlights how, surprisingly, some of the potent dramas occur in the peripheries of our life, where we are nothing but silent spectators.
