Story Starters.

Liz did something not long ago with a story challenge/story starters. Anyway, I've always thought such things were great fun, and I wondered if anyone would like to donate a story starter for me, because I'd like to write a few stories of 2,000 words or less, and I thought it would be nice to have people throw out random ideas or phrases for them. So if anyone is interested, please contribute! Comment here. You can give me a first sentence, a word, a phrase or just something (a noun; a subject and a verb) to write a story about.

And, as I'm all about sharing and sharing alike, I guess I will give story starters (or poem starters, who am I to say?) of my own for your possible usage. (Maybe I'll use them myself too...)

Sentence: "The stars were rushing towards them."

Word: "Bitterly."

Noun/verb idea: A radio plays something unexpected.

Use as you see fit, or don't use at all!
