I find inspiration for stories in odd places. Several have grown out of minor news stories: a stolen mail truck, a guy who impersonated a highway patrolman, a woman who got a letter from her bank saying that she was dead - and then couldn't get past the voice mail menu to tell them otherwise.

Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel and The Great Mars Hill bank Robbery by Ron Chase. All I am suggesting is to give the back cover synopses a skim, if you’re looking for some wild story inspiration!

@LauraRuthless I know someone who was declared dead and had to jump throughbeaurocratic hoops to prove otherwise. It was awful and also a bit hysterically funny.

@BranwenOShea Incredible. "I'm here, can you hear me? Do you want to take my pulse?"
