Write a story where the weather, atmosphere, or setting reflects the outcome of the story. (For example, if it's a happy ending the weather might be sunny; if it's a sad ending, the story might be set in a deserted town).

At some point in the story, have a character casually say something that hints at the ending.

In the first sentence of your story, have the narrator tell us exactly what's going to happen — but not how it will happen.

Write a story that includes a character hearing their fate by a fortune teller.
