For those who like to tell stories. The idea is to take a given sentence and use it as the opening to a story that you write - but your story must be fifty words or less (not including the original sentence).

Big Mary blanched when she heard the sirens.

Every instinct screamed 'Danger!' Wait, what had that guy Odysseus suggested?

The song wafted across the waves. Actually, it didn't sound bad.

What had he said again? Something to do with earwax? Nah, that couldn't be right.

If you really listened, it was beautiful. Enchanting.

She leapt overboard.

- "One wrong turn can really ruin your day." - "Tell me about it. I knew I shouldn't have gone into Old Sammy's turf past noon. His goons grabbed me and made me pay for encroaching or else. Good thing I never go into Olivieri's as did my cousin Gerry last week. He's still in the hospital..."

We spent the summer in Geneva. In the evenings we would sit on the balcony of our suite at the hotel and and savor the multi-hued lights of the city reflected in the waters of Lac LĂ©man. The memory of those idyllic days is all I have left of Jean.

My heart lurched as I witnessed the ensuing zombie apocalypse around me. I was always obsessed with the idea of enhancing human genetics. But if I knew it would end so horribly wrong I would have buried those dreams in the deepest pit of my dark soul.

Once upon a time in the West a cowboy was butthurt as he laid on the ground with a .40 caliber bullet in his rear end. Was it the pain or the humiliation that hurt the most he pondered as the sun was setting.

I was walking around with cotton candy.

I had to try and fit in with Earth customs. This 'Halloween' thing was supposedly about costumes and sugary foodstuffs. A lump of the cotton candy made an effective wig, and I'd teased out the sticky pink fibres into fabric for a dress.

Hmm, strange looks. Had I misunderstood?
