Sometimes when I'm writing, particularly a short story, I try to come up with cliff hangers. Though I'm not sure that you can quite achieve that effect the same way you can for a television episode. Its just a fun exercise of the mind. Anyway along with this idea of the cliffhanger is theme music. Unfortunately you can't do theme music in a book.
Sometimes I'll think of part of a story ending in a cliff hanger and see what tune comes to mind. If the story is going to be good it might be this....
Not so good it might be something like this...
It's not a bad song as these things go it just doesn't fit.
That, of course is just my opinion. So I wonder if there is anyway to create the effect of a cold opener in written form.
