Storyline for essay starting with the line ...?

Question

Hi,

I have to start a 2-3 page story with the line:
“Ill never let you down”, he murmured but the roar of the train had already stolen his words.

I am completely stuck for ideas. Can anyone think of a good plot or storyline?

Thanks

Answer 1

You could do it as a retrospective story - where this is the end of the story - It is a man realising that the one person he will ever truly love has gone in that train never to return. How he was to careless, to consumed with his own self obsession to notice the one person who could have saved him from himself. He realises, but knows the person is leaving on a train (as they left a message on his answerphone) so he desperately rushed to the station to say what he feels, but the train is pulling out - gone. Either you can have a happy ending where the person decided not to get on the train and is standing behind him or the train pulls out without him ever really knowing whether that person was on the train or he caught up with the train in the brief moments before it left and he saw the person. If you go for that scenario you can either write it that the person never saw him despite his desperate shouts or the person sees him, but looks blankly through him as if he is dead to that person.
There's some ideas good luck!

Answer 2

"I'll never let you down", he murmured, but the roar of the train had already stolen his words." He watched the last carriage disappear into the frost bitten night as the last chain of funnel smoke hung around him.
This sounds like the opener to a second world war spy story, of a man going under cover to infiltrate the Gestapo and rescue someone. How about the title "Night Train To Munich"

Answer 3

How about a drunk, whom has been a rotten husband & father realising that he has to do better ? The story starts with him crossing the railway line on his way home from the pub. IIn his mind, he goes over some of the lousy things he has done to his family & he knows from now on, he will be a better man. Little realising that he is about to meet his Waterloo with the 21.43 to Paddington.

Splat.

Moral of the story: don't put off until tomorrow what you should have done all along. And don't cross the railway when you're pis*sed.

you may start up explaining nicely standard authors have their own variety of writing or you may write a sentence that has no longer something to be certain with your type. you may write with distinctive variety of writing like a journalist, like a blogger, like a novelist.... i think of variety of writing define the character of the author and of what he/she's writing. wish i helped stable luck to you playstation and specific you may quote me on your essay !!! lol
