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 or sentence fragment and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a story (prose or poetry) around that sentence/fragment.

And most of all, have fun.

Carl was determined to participate with or without her. What was the interest or compulsion he had or felt?
She turned around and, without keys to the car, walked the distance to their new home in a refurbished warehouse apartment building. She would never see how the man she thought of as self-determined and stubborn would prostrate himself at the feet of another man and promise fealty and secrecy on penalty of death.
