: Re: How to trick the reader into thinking they're following a redshirt instead of the protagonist? I'm currently planning a "magical girl" story, and I thought of an interesting way to start it,

If I had to play out this scene from the POV of the protagonist, it would be hard to transition from "redshirt" to "heroine" in a first person narrative. She - as a person - is the heroine from the start no matter what the reader thinks. Her personality doesn't change.

That's why I would play this scene out from the monster's point of view.
For the monster this is just another night and another prey. It could follow its prey and come to (false) conclusions about how she is just the same as every other prey.
then, the monster will be surprised by the magical girl and the chapter ends with its death.

: Good recess scene screenplay I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how to write some very short recess scene at a school? I'm out of ideas. P.S. this would be acted.
