Get compelling story opening paragraphs

The prompt

Give me an opening paragraph for a story that immediately hooks the reader. Drop me into the middle of an interesting situation, establish a distinctive voice, and create a question in the reader's mind that makes them need to keep reading.

How to use it

Copy the prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity, and replace anything in brackets with your own details. The more context you add about your situation, the better the answer.
