Like this one.

My name is Joe, by the way. I'm the narrator. I know what you're thinking: Oh great, one of those. And you'd be right. I mean, I am one of those. I tell the story. I tell you what your character sees, hears, smells, and tastes. I'm the one who sounds like a legend in your head, reading this out. But before I do any of that, I need to ask you a question.

Direct question. Very important. And I'd really love an answer, so please, out loud or in the privacy of your own thoughts, answer honestly:

You. Yes, you. The person reading this. Were you—before you found yourself standing in a modestly furnished one-bedroom apartment that smelled of garlic and onions sautéing in butter—were you already a member of the Armed Detective Agency?
