EDITED: Do you remember the epic plot twist in 1995 crime thriller "The Usual Suspects" where a crippled con-artist called Verbal (Kevin Spacey) created the legend of a shadowy crime lord Kayser Söze in front of a US Customs Agent?

Another Example:

Step 2 - My objects: toothbrush, soap, tube of lipstick.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 2. Sudden Reversal. (My PC's fortune: dead end -> hope).
Step 4 - Linking: My PC investigates the old man in the tavern and founds an empty tube of lipstick that is filled with solid soap in where he stayed last night. He must have forgotten it in his room. Grabbing the toothbrush that's left in a drawer and removing the soap, he reveals the note that will solve the case!

New Quest: Read the note and use it as a clue.

My Example:

Step 2 - My words: Greeting, provision, master.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 7. Flashback
Step 4 - Linking: My PC has a flashback of visions where he remembers his master (patron) greets him and provides him the info that now seems suspicious. Ties to the context: My patron stinks and this old man could be his employee to misdirect me to my doom.

New Quest: I must find out why!
