So I feign ignorance.... But now I want to know what Tobias was looking for and why the preacher was against him. (I think it's a bright and shiny...) LOL Yeah, I read the instructions wrong, go figure… but looking at my paragraph, it still could be an opening without the ones that went before it. So I feign ignorance….

But now I want to know what Tobias was looking for and why the preacher was against him. (I think it’s a bright and shiny…)

LOL

Dru, yours was great, too!!! Nikki and Lynn you guys seemed to make your prompts based off of Dru's...and it worked. I'm going to take Lynn's prompt and do an opening to a book (not based on yours...more the way Shel and Dru did it). She'd been searching all night, hoping, praying for some sound or movement to let her know he was near. She prayed his shorts and t-shirt would be enough to keep him warm, yet the sudden change in temperature told her otherwise. Oh God, how she hoped he was okay. Shel, LOVE your opening paragraph.

Mrs. Harden hadn't even given him the courtesy of speaking or offered him a towel or cup of hot tea. Just an insistant demand that he get off her stoop. At least the Jacobson's had heard him out before rejecting his plea. The village was refusing to buck the preacher. And Tobias had chose the wrong horse in this race.

His appearance didn't help. The hood of his rain slicker pulled tight around his face, strands of limp hair falling in his eyes. But when he approached the house that adjacent to Jacobson's the door opened as he climbed the front steps.

Why would he do this? He only had another three months before his release. Did he find out the truth? Now, he would have to go to the old neighborhood and interview all of them again. How would his partner react to his act of betrayal? Next word prompt: weather The mystery surrounding his escape puzzled him. Why would he do this?

Needless to say, no one ever called her that. In the family she was always called "Aunt Sister", and outside of the family everyone except the Social Security people knew her as "Taffy". I didn't actually learn her real name until her obituary was published. Next word prompt: mystery My father’s sister was named, very imaginatively, Arvezina.
