What a wild story, Catherine! So many unexpected twists! That's quite an imagination you've got there! That's what makes First Line Fiction so much fun - well, from where I'm sitting, I mean! I get all these amazing stories that are vastly different from one another, all based on the same first line.

Thank you for another excellent submission! I've got some spooky-ish ones (or potentially so) coming up, wonder what you might do with those ones. Mwa ha ha ha haaaa!!!
