This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
The waitress walked over to my table, leaned over, and whispered in my ear, “If you want to stay alive, you need to leave immediately.”
“Isn’t it “come with me if you want to live?” Joe laughed at the waitress’s request. Thinking it all a joke, Joe stopped smiling when a burly man with a shotgun burst into the diner and yelled, “nobody move, this is a stickup!”
Joe couldn’t help himself and blurted out, “oh come on, that’s the oldest line in the book!” The rest of the diners looked at him, incredulous.
“Shut up, you moron,” yelled a punkish teen at the counter. The burly man let a few bullets fly into the air and even Joe cowed, and set his wallet and watch on the table.
