I've crafted 50 micro story hooks organized by psychological trigger type. Each one is designed to:
Stop the scroll: Pattern interrupts and curiosity gaps break autopilot browsing
Create tension: Unresolved stories create an itch that demands scratching
Promise value: Each hook implies a payoff worth the reader's time
Feel authentic: Real, specific details beat vague claims every time
The most powerful hooks combine specificity (numbers, timeframes, concrete details) with emotional stakes (loss, transformation, revelation).
