Challenge III: A Mile in Their Shoes

When you’re stuck with a problem, it’s always handy to step back and look through things in a new perspective. For this week’s challenge, you’ll take that to an even higher level. Whether you use an existing story, using existing characters, or you write up a completely new story, your challenge this week is to switch shoes.

Approach this however you’d like to; you can literally have your characters switch bodies, or have them merely switch roles. Your villain suddenly becomes the hero, or your main character suddenly wakes up in the body of their Pokemon/friend/mother. Or, you can simply write through the eyes of a side character—someone who isn’t prominent in your main story. What are they thinking about the circumstances of your story? How do they see your main character?

Somehow, some way, someone will be looking through someone else's eyes.
