Story Starter from Kate Klise!

Want to write a book this summer? Here's a prompt Kate left for us. See if you can write a book that begins like this:

For years my life was wonderful. I had __________________ and __________________ and plenty of ________________ . I even had _______________________. 

But then one day _____________________ came to town. And everything changed ... for the worse.

P.S. If you write a story and want to share, please put your story in the comments for others to read and enjoy! Thanks ... and have fun.
