OK. Saw this challenge somewhere years ago and thought it sounded nifty.
Take the first line from a famous (or not so famous) book and build a story from it. Examples:
In a hole in a ground there lived a Hobbit.
All children, except one, grow up.
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone 84 days now without taking a fish.
Call me Ishmael.
Sam Vimes sighed when he heard the scream, but he finished shaving before he did anything about it.
My father had a face that could stop a clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
Those are, of course, merely examples. Feel free to choose your own.
Keep 'em relatively short, remember the rules of the forum and above all, have FUN!
