I don’t know where this idea came to me from exactly, but it seemed to be something that was worth pondering on for story possibilities when I thought about it.  I was looking at my mail and it just sort of surfaced in my subconsciousness where “what if?” lives.

What would happen if someone made a wrong delivery of something?  Would it be your lead that delivered something to the wrong person or place?  Would it be a major part of the story or a brief sub plot where someone delivered flowers to one of your character’s co-workers by mistake?

What if it was more serious than flowers?  What if a ransom was delivered to the wrong people, not the kidnappers?  Or the kidnappers delivered the kidnap victim to the wrong people after payment was made?  What if a space ship delivered the cargo it carried to the wrong people?  What if a time machine was delivered to the wrong address and instead of going to the lap down the road it went to you hero’s art studio?  Would it be put on display because it was assumed to be some kind of modern art?

Take the wrong delivery idea and run with it, have fun and see what you can come up with.
