Narrate a story in reverse chronological order.

It’s a rewarding challenge to start a story at its chronological end and work backwards towards the beginning. Such a narrative style requires you to offer clues and revelations in a manner contrary to traditional storytelling, making your writing more engaging. This prompt also allows you to experiment with dramatic irony since the readers’ knowledge of future events influences their interpretation of past ones.
