Beginnings
Here's the beginning of a famous short story, I Stand Here Ironing, by Tillie Olsen:
I stand here ironing, and what you asked me moves tormented back and forth with the iron.
Whether you've read this wonderful story or not, try to continue a story or scene based on this sentence, which comprises the entire first paragraph. Mimicing the original author's style, show this (ironing) character through his/her internal monologue, actions, and possible dialogue with other characters.
HAVE FUN!
