Here we go: write the opening sentence, 25 words or less, for a story based on the picture below. My top four possible submissions are as follows:
"Wait, Mr. Buffet, your wallet," Eddie cried, oblivious to the Prius bearing down on that very spot.
It was the old Charlie Brown football trick, and Ralphie was totally unsuspecting as he reached for the wallet.
Buddy reached eagerly for the fat wallet, unaware of Ashton's film crew waiting to shout "You've been Punked!"
Michael Anthony reached for the wallet, all those years ago, unaware that the rightful owner was none other than John Beresford Tipton. (Note: you have to be of a certain age to appreciate this one.)
So, vote for your favorite, or submit an entry of your own. Can't wait to hear from you: cspiggidy2@hotmail.com.
How about this: "You see, honey. I knew I'd find it. I'm not THAT absentminded. Honey? HONEY?"
