Your character is bored. Plain and simple. There's nothing to do. Nothing on TV. No one to talk to. He's desperately wanting for something to happen. So he begins looking around the room he is in.Describe what he sees. Have him move around, touching things, picking them up, shifting them around. Think about how things feel in addition to how they look. Does he move things around or put them back exactly in their place? Then, he discovers something surprising. What is it? Perhaps he notices an object that wasn't there before – that he's certain wasn't left by him. Maybe he's finds that an object he thought was solid actually has a hidden compartment within it. Or, he finds a note slipped between two dusty books. How does this discovery affect your character? Is this beginning of a new conflict, or somehow tied to a preexisting one? What are the thoughts going through your characters mind? What does this set in motion? Where will this lead your character?
