The interview with one missing question
Write an interview where the investigator asks about everything except the event they came to investigate.
01
Start here
Begin with a mundane question about breakfast.
02
Try this constraint
The witness must volunteer the crucial detail while correcting a minor assumption.
03
Keep writing
End before either person admits what was learned.
Two ways to take it further
- Let the correction expose that the witness was present earlier than claimed.
- Have the investigator deliberately get an ordinary fact wrong.
