Fandango’s Story Starter #148

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. 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:

She held out her arms to hug me, but I knew this wasn’t my house — and she definitely wasn’t my wife.

If you care to write and post a story built from this teaser, be sure to link back to this post and 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.

    Haven’t you used this one before? Of perhaps someone else did. Sorry if I’m mistaken

      I may have used this or something similar before. I’d have to go back and check my 147 previous Story Started posts to be sure. But if I did use it before, I apologize.

      Yes, I just went backed and checked and I did use this just last April on Story Starter #94. Oops.

    She held out her arms to hug me but I knew this wasn’t my house and she definitely was not my wife. A little voice inside of me said “Listen mate, you’d better cut down on the booze! “
