A talking lead is a god way to get the reader immediately invested in the story.

Explanation:

A good example of a talking lead is: “Quick, hit the floor,” my dad yelled. “Whatever you do, don’t look up!” my mother added as I dropped to the floor and slid myself under my bed. It was a terrifying night for my family when we discovered a bat in our house.

A bad example of a talking lead is: "There was a bat in our house last summer."
