First Lines

[Dexter]

After checking on ebay, Brandon was stoked - the UFO was his!

 

[Talysia]

That's a good one, Dexter!

She couldn't believe that it had happened again - this was the third time she had evaded death that morning.

 

[Sea Monster]

With grim resolve, Vance crossed the sulfuric threshold that would take him deep into the bowels of Hell.

 

[The Ace]

Silence.

 

[daisybee]

"You must tell Michael his brother needs him-do you understand?"

 

[Talysia]

"Fine, I'll do it," he said, taking the knife, "but only if you promise not to hurt them."

 

[daisybee]

The dead parrot on the carpet was disconcerting to say the least, afterall I didn't own a parrot.

 

[HardScienceFan]

i had just murdered a corpse

 

[Erin99]

With grim resolve, Vance crossed the sulfuric threshold that would take him deep into the bowels of Hell.

I like that one, Monster. I'd pick it up if that was in a book.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

I like that one, Monster.

That's a fantastic first line Leisha.

 

[Talysia]

When Jason discovered that he could stop time at will, a whole world of possiblities opened up to him.

 

[Saltheart]

That's a fantastic first line Leisha.

As was yours, Joke. As was yours...

Here's mine:


I never really intended to write this book, but the barrel of a .30 revolver to my head on the quiet spring day in the park on April 29, 2004 convinced me otherwise.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

That's grand saltheart. I saw Fight Club recently and reminded me of the crazy start to that movie.

 

[Talysia]

Flames rose up from the gap in the earth, and as the continent drifted apart a massive growl told the world that something bad was coming.

 

[Erin99]

That's a fantastic first line Leisha.

Haha! Oh, I'd never realised!


That's the monster I want, daddy!

 

[Chaser]

The bullet stopped right before her face.

 

[Talysia]

Here's one inspired by your avatar, Chaser

"If it isn't an angel," the tall man said to me as we looked up at the sky, "then I don't know what else it could be, with wings like that."

 

[Chaser]

Thank you, Talysia, that's lovely.

 

[anthorn]

As he watched the man fall from the roof of the temple, Anthorn could not help but think. Life is looking up.

 

[Chaser]

I watched the man turn invisible, the first scientist to achieve this, and I smiled, because I was already invisible.
