Your character is home alone, and he hasn't been left home alone in quite some time. What does he feel the moment the door closes behind his family (or roommates)? What is his first impulse? Will he dance like crazy? Eat what he wants? Sneak out of the house, or perhaps sneak someone in?Now think about this as an opportunity for your character —a chance to do something he has been waiting to do. Is he trying to plan a surprise? Does he have a secret part of his life that he doesn't want anyone to know about? Is there a fantasy element where he can become something or go somewhere, but only when he is sure he won't get caught? What does being home alone enable him to do? What secrets can you reveal to your reader?
