Once upon a time.
It was a dark and stormy night.
A priest and a rabbi walked into a bar.
When I was a little kid.
There were two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
He got down on his knees and opened a box containing a diamond ring.
If there's one thing I cannot stand, it's alligators.
I looked at myself standing in front of the mirror naked and said "Man am I hot!"
I had so much to drink last night, it's amazing I found my way home.
Feel free to use any you want. Pax - C

A unique way of starting a story is at the "end" of it. Start by describing what almost happens to the character(s) and then start filling in the blanks to the reader. This makes the reader want to know why the characters ended like that and what actually happened. Good Luck!

Judging by your questions you ought to start familiarizing yourself with basic English grammar that includes punctuation, spelling, and regular type formatting.
As for a beginning of a story consider taking an event in your life, change it up to suit your fancy, create characters, and, of course, a protagonist (perhaps you). It is certain that you've experienced things that you could have done differently. Write about it.

"James Bolivar diGriz I arrest you on the charge..."
I was waiting for the word "charge," I thought it made a nice touch that way. As he said it I pressed the button that set off the charge of black powder in the ceiling. The crossbeam buckled and the three-ton safe dropped through right on top of the cop's head. He squashed very nicely, thank you. The cloud of plaster dust settled and all I could see of him was one hand, slightly rumpled. It twitched a bit and the index finger pointed at me accusingly. His voice was a little muffled by the safe and sounded a bit annoyed.

they ran into the night, hearts pounding and adrenaline pumping through their veins. each step they took was heavier than the last, and their surroundings seemed to twist and fade into the darkess. confusion and fear choked them, making their escape all the more difficult. shouts were barely audible behind them, though after every passing tree and stone, the voices neared. the two ran with all their might, their desire to live ovverpowering their growing pain. Ajira stole a glance behind her, and the last thing she saw was a shining bullet headed straight at her, piercing the darkness like a blessing from the heavens.

I think starting a story by introducing a main character in their youth is a good idea. It gives you insight on their motivation and helps you know more about them.

Use your imagination. Surely you can come up with something.
