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!

"Of course - old fuzzy - but never one with directions quite this odd."
I'm already intrigued. I hope it stirs some interest for you.
You have carte blanche for mine, of course

Forget Butch Cassidy. (To be used as dialogue or narration.)
Here's another one, just in case:
The oratorio droned on, and he was growing tired of singing.
I don't know where that came from. Then again, I don't know where the first one came from either. :)
