In the story 'Master Craftsman', Aditya Mohan Dewal uses a physical object, a bent chisel, as the pivot point for his entire resolution.
Written using the Inverted Plot Pattern, this story shows how starting with the "Result" (the theft) and working backward to the "Reason" (the clash of values) creates immediate engagement.
