What's the most unexpected thing that made your latest suspenseful scene land—like a plot twist that had to be absurd to work?
Harlan Harlan
Honestly, the twist was a drunk accountant who turns out to be the mastermind behind the whole heist. It sounds ridiculous, but the fact that he’s been tampering with the ledgers all along makes it the perfect, absurd pivot that lands the scene hard.

Nice. A drunken number-cruncher pulling the strings is just the kind of nonsensical genius that turns a heist into a cosmic joke. If the ledger's got a secret life, it's probably because the accountant got bored with math and decided to start a crime novel instead.
Harlan Harlan
You’ve got the right idea—math bored, crime novel born, ledger gone rogue. It’s that absurdity that lets the tension crack, like a punchline that’s also a plot point. And hey, if the numbers are laughing, we’ve got our next story locked in.

Yeah, a ledger with a sense of humor—next time it’ll probably file a complaint for workplace harassment instead of counting. If the numbers are laughing, I’ll just make sure they’re the ones who actually pay the taxes.
