Fandango’s Story Starter #22

Fandango

It’s time for my weekly Story Starter prompt. Here’s how it works. Every Tuesday morning (my time), I’m going to give you an incomplete “teaser” sentence and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a story (prose or poetry) around that partial sentence. It doesn’t have to be the first sentence in your story, and you don’t even have to use it in your post at all if you don’t want to. The purpose of the teaser is simply to spark your imagination and to get your storytelling juices flowing.

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

When I looked inside, I saw no sign of life whatsoever, except for…

If you care to write and post a story built from this teaser, be sure to link back to this post and to tag your post with #FSS. I would also encourage you to read and enjoy what your fellow bloggers do with their stories.

And most of all, have fun.

FYI, I “borrowed” and slightly modified today’s teaser from blogger Pete (aka Mister Bump). In a line from his response to my flash fiction prompt yesterday, he wrote, as part of a sentence, “…she saw no sign of life whatever, except for….” So thanks, Pete, for inspiring today’s Story Starter.

    Fandango, today’s story starter doesn’t open up into many avenues – I can only think of the ‘dark’

    When I looked inside, I saw no sign of life whatsoever, except for……a shadow which scuttled into a dark corner leaving nothing but a scent of hopelessness in the air

      Deep and disturbing, Brian. Is there more to come?
