Stories are all about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. They are about giving their audiences new perspectives and opening their minds to the myriad of possibilities life throws at us. And as we have mentioned before, perspectives can be very powerful within the stories we tell.
Write a scene from nature—but write it first through the perspective of a predatory animal, and then through the perspective of its prey. For instance, you could write a peaceful, ordinary scene about a pod of whales feeding on a cloud of krill.
Then tell it from the perspective of the krill.
