Tone: [Tone]
Types: (1) a scene from near the ending shown first (flash-forward); (2) an event that seems unrelated to the protagonist; (3) the protagonist's ordinary day with one strange act.
Rules: no protagonist name or exposition. Each ends leaving the viewer one question going into the title; write it as [Question: …] after the scene.
