In honor of the Directorate’s new Beginning, your task today is: write three new beginnings. Write the first Sentence or two of three fine Tales. Work quickly and do not Overthink; this is mere Practice.
You may post your Work as a Comment below, or you may work in Privacy. You may Applaud the Beginnings of others, but do not Criticize; these are merely Practice, and should not be Judged.

Welcome, my Friends.
For hundreds of Years, the Fiction-Writing Directorate has toiled Ceaselessly (and Thanklessly) in the Shadows. We have Convinced countless Writers to Write, through means both Orthodox and Un. We have battled fierce Word-Urchins, with little more than our Wits, our Swords, and our Flame-Throwers.
