The $10 Promise

If I had $10 for every fifty words I wrote, I'd be a cazillionaire. How 'bout you? Okay, so give us your best story opener in 50 words or less -- one that hooks the reader and gives the promise of a great story-to-come -- and we'll take a vote. Each month, the winner will be awarded $10. Hey, so what do you want for 50 words anyhow, . . . a cazillion?

Visit Chase's Workshop at the bottom of the page for some tips on writing great openers.
