You were walking down the street, mind in your own thoughts as you headed in a certain direction. You were unaware of your surroundings, but suddenly noticed three men gathered in an alleyway. One was on the ground, beaten to a pulp and bloody.

The other two men were talking, oblivious to the situation. As a writer, you were stunned by the violence and cruelty of the scene in front of you, and you couldn't help but wonder about the events that led up to this bloody mess.
