What if?

I have always thought that writers view the world differently and it‘s down to two words - what if?

A writer hears a word, a phrase, sees an image, a half-open door, a woman standing alone in a field at dusk, hears about an idea, and asks what if?

What if the door is half open because the family fled in a hurry, what if the woman in the field is watching her childhood home, what if the sun stopped burning, what if men and women grew wings, what if, what if?
So when you go out, take what if with you!
