Cast your vote!
Ok, while falling asleep last night, a little snippet of the beginning of a story drifted through my head. I really have no idea what it is or where it is going, but I don't know whether I want to pursue it or not. So I am putting it to a vote. Read the little piece of text below, and let me know if you want to see more!************
One eyebrow shot up, amusement and amazement warring for a few seconds on her face, before amusement won out. She tried to hold the laughter in, the first few giggles coming out as muffled snorts, before she gave in.
"Ok, so not funny." His look of complete exasperation, coupled with the fact that he was covered head to toe in a gooey, dripping mud, just made her laugh harder.
"It...so...is." She managed to gasp out. She was now leaning against the wall, doubled over from laughter stomach cramps. Finally managing to get control of herself, she straightened back up.
"Are you done now? Because if so, I could really use a little help here." He was standing in the doorway, just outside the house. The martyred look, along with the tone, served only to set her off again.
"Ok, ok," she couldn't stop giggling. "You are not coming in like that. Strip off your clothes, then head to the shower." She disappeared around a corner briefly, returning with a bucket for the soiled garments that were already starting to come off. He had his back turned to the street, so he didn't see the nosy neighbor come out the check the mail, and stop to stare and the rapidly de-robing male. She smothered another bought of giggles, knowing he probably wouldn't appreciate her total and complete amusement at the entire situation.

That is all there was. So, is it interesting enough to make you want to hear more? Or should I not bother?
