To start off the Monkey Barn Campfire Story I ended up going with an Edward Hopper painting. However, I had other many good choices. Here are are the first five, and the opening lines I would have used. [Click on picture for full size]
#10 The first line would have been, "Everyone seemed to be enjoying their day at the park, transfixed with the water, but Marjorie was still worried they'd discover she was hiding a midget in her dress...."
#9 First line: "The more Jeff thought about it, the more determined he was to write a strongly worded memo to Acounting: 'I appreciate our company's cost-cutting measures, but added all up I'm just not sure the new Sub-Coach Class is worth the savings.'"
#8 First line: "Boyd looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but think, 'It's nice to know the years and the clown-murders have yet to catch up to my handsome face."
#7 "It wasn't the nudity that Frances minded so much, but the way Joy simply refused to let anyone else put their foot on the ball."
#6 "It was a love not meant to be, him with his stubborn foolish pride turned to self loathing, and her with her damned feathers always getting in the way."
