The door swung open to what could perhaps be best described as a tall, anorexic Santa Claus, or because of his old faded tattoos a bearded Praying Mantis.
This is the opening of my new fiction work The Last Tattoo.

You leave me no choice, I have to read more. Anorexic Santa and faded tattoos seem so incongruous!
Thanks Lumdog.
Well, with the exception of the typo in Santa’s name ( it should be Claus…unless he is some sort of legal stipulation ? ) I’m intrigued 🙂
Thanks Carrie, and it has been edited.
This is such a unique description, I couldn’t possibly not read what comes next 🙂
now that is an interesting line! makes me wonder!
Thank you. it gets a bit weird.
Neat juxtaposition. I would definitely read more.
I have absolutely no idea where this is headed, but I’m sure I’d like to go there. Thanks for linking up with us this week. Please come on back Monday for the new prompt.
I glad I found you, a blogging friend suggested I check you out, glad I did.
That is a heck of a mental image. I think I’d have to read on just to find out who this guy is!
His name is Slim and he is at a funeral home where is trying to gave a tattoo to a dead man.
Awesome! I didn’t see the tatoos coming. Nice. Well hooked!
Thanks Marie, that will be the story kind of a Ray Bradbury twist.
Very strong start!
Love it! Just posted mine as well. Although, I clearly don’t follow directions, as it’s not just one line. But I am loving Trifecta and will be back. Following you now, as well.
Well thanks you Christine for both. Yours sounds like one of Those nights.
One of those decades, actually. Can’t believe I’m alive to tell the story. 😉
What a laugh! I love this.
Fantastic character intro!
Thanks Cameron, and I’m not gonna mess with Sofia.
