Fandango’s Story Starter

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

A mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, clutching a worn leather journal.

Mica ran toward the docks holding the book tightly to her chest. The enclosed writings were the only proof of the misdealings of her brother Isaac. It included dates, prices and drawings of the items he obtained illegally.

Mica felt someone following her and llooked nervously back to see her other brother James. He approached, saying, “I know what you plan to do but it’s much too dangerous for you…you’re a woman for god’s sake!” Mica stopped and looked at him with disgust.

“I expected you to do it, but you chose to go along with Isaac’s schemes. I’m taking this to the harbor master now!”

Undaunted, Mica pushed him away and picked up her pace, running to the office at the docks. The lists of stolen property would be in the hands of the law now.
