This week’s prompt is a story starter, so take the element provided and turn it into a story of any length you choose. If you’re stuck on size, I suggest aiming for 1000-2000 words. This week, let’s start with an opening sentence.
It was a lousy place for a clown.
Take this opening line and run with it. See where it takes you.
This should inspire some interesting stories! :) I just posted mine.

ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people don’t like clowns. Thank you, Stephen King, and Pogo the Killer Clown. And probably Ronald McDonald. Even I think he’s creepy.
ReplyDeleteBut I’m more the Harlequin type. You know, those emo clowns with the pained tear? Like that.
Still, people stare daggers at me as if I crawled straight out of King’s clown lair. Children hide behind their mothers.
I thought this would be like the clown doctors... bring some joy to these poor people. Instead I’m retreating to the gate.
Call me a coward.
That camp was a lousy place for a clown.
