A plot twist is a deviation in a story that is unexpected and surprises audiences. Here we present a few writing prompts with possible plot twists(and where they are from) you could incorporate.
Prompt 1: A tense back and forth between partners. Plot Twist: The main character takes on the persona of their dead loved one(from Psycho).
Prompt 2: A group of superheroes are on trial, accused of being one in the same entity, a villainous kingpin. Plot Twist: The narrator is the real criminal mastermind(from The Usual Suspects).
Prompt 3: A traffic cop gives the wrong car a ticket. Plot Twist: The antagonist is the protagonist's loved one (from Star Wars-The Empire Strikes Back).
Happy Writing.
