are you sure the battery is charged? maybe sitting so long drained it then killed it so as soon as you turn the key it takes all the power out of it?thats what it sounds like if the starter clicks

Check the starter motor connections to make sure they haven't corroded. Check the voltage at the starter motor to make sure the current is getting through.

As above and make sure the nut on the starter solenoid (at the end of the battery cable) is not loose.
