Prompt for Madison

One of my favorite parts of writing is the first sentence. First sentences can draw in a reader. So Madison, I want you to write a story or poem that starts with this phrase.

Prompt

There was...what?

My favorite mythology (both historical and fictional) systems have incredibly interesting origin stories. This is the one story that the rest of the world's theology, morals, ect is built on.

So Kristian, my prompt for you is to create an origin story.
