an exciting story vs a exciting story

The correct phrase is 'an exciting story.' The article 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, while 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. In this case, 'exciting' starts with a vowel sound, so 'an' is the correct choice.
