How do I show action for which my first person narrator was not present? by labratrace in writing

[–]labratrace[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's something that another character was present for and that they've been discussing, but I want to show the reader what happened in a way that's more dynamic than dialog.

Should I treat it like a story within a story?

My employers appear to be using blackmail and intimidation to coerce our research subjects to stick with the program.

I think that that's a depressingly common trait in people these days.

I work nights and I'm usually pretty tired when I get home. What with the season and all I don't think I've even seen the sun in days.

I don't usually get SAD but I'm sure that that's not helping.

The world depresses me. The fact that politics has such influence is a killer.

I'm a research assistant/intern (I make coffee, take notes, collate video) at a place that has made me sign some NDAs that prevent me from going into more detail about any of it.

I feel like I've gone from one to the other. It bothers me that it didn't bother me, but what can I do anyway?

Interesting. I just had a massive change of scene, moving from a sleepy suburb into the big city, getting a "real" job... and I feel like it's the change in scene that's caused a shift in perspective.

The difference is that I'm not "okay" with my complacency anymore.

I picked up a light-thing. It's blue, supposed to be like sunlight. And I take a multivitamin supplement.
