Fandango’s Story Starter #61

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 a “teaser” sentence and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a story (prose or poetry) around that 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:

I turned on the evening news only to see one of the biggest secrets of my life playing out before my eyes.

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.

    I turned on the evening news only to see one of the biggest secrets of my life playing out before my eyes. Who knew my shadow lived a second life when not with me? Certainly not l! But more shocking than that was my shadow was a woman, which seriously confused the guy in me!

      An independent, gender-fluid shadow. Fascinating!
