Wednesday's Writing Prompt — Rain

Imagine it is raining outside and your character has to get from one place to another. As he hurries through the rain, your character notices a flyer swirling towards the drain on the street corner. Something about it peeks his interest, and he runs over to retrieve it before it gets lost in the sewer. Have your character pick it up and look at it. What is the flyer for? What does it say? Is there something else written on it? How does it affect your protagonist? Now choose what your character will do in response to the flyer? Will he discard it and pretend he never saw it? Or will he take action? Does this one flyer change the whole plot of your story?

Now decide if you will reveal what the flyer says. How would your story change if you kept it a secret from the reader, allowing only your character to know what he has just read?
