How about a miracle? What if Sally just found herself knee deep in an overflowing toilet while the dog is barking crazily at something and is on the verge of being winded. In ten minutes a young couple will be coming by to see her house, which she needs to sell in record time. What miracle would save her? When she answers the door, she finds the young couple waiting, the husband dressed in a local plumbing company’s uniform. That’s a miracle, but what is that dog still barking about?
Jump off from this scenario or imagine your own troubles a-coming and the character needs a miracle setup. Then come up with the miraculous happening that is going to fix the immediate problem but still leave the character with other things to take care of.
