As writers, we can find much inspiration from the tin can. Use it for a hungry character, or to hide a message in its label in your spy thriller, or as a token of friendship, or emptied and transformed into a vase, a cup, a child’s telephone/listening device, or strew it about the littered parking lot of your abandoned store and let it hold an important clue for solving the murder mystery that happened there. So many ways–these and all from your fertile imagination–to include a tin can in your story! Do it!
