First Lines

[Talysia]

I heard a voice shouting "Look out above you!", and just as I stupidly stopped and started to look up, I saw some strange object falling down towards me.

 

[TheManager]

I was inspired

People always associate falling off a building with the ground rushing up to meet you and your guts splattering all over the place but I found that if you ignore the notion that you're about to die it's almost a tiny bit like flying.

They called him Roach and Roach he was, a scuttling creature of darkness and filth, so easily squashed and so widely despised.

This is good. Nice use of concrete language. Good choice with the word "scuttling," an illustrative word to be sure. I might drop the "so"s though. They add cutesy element that I think takes away from the strength of the sentence.

I think it reads a lot better like this. This really is a fantastic sentence though, the best I've read here yet.

 

[Culhwch]

Cup noodles for lunch - again.

(Semi-autobiographical...)

 

[Talysia]

Some antiques seem as though they carried their history with them, although this one felt like there was some kind of spirit attached to it.

 

[crystal haven]

I heard him say quite clearly, it's a hell of a way down, trouble was I didn't hear it till I'd jumped.

 

[Talysia]

The candle flickered, and I could have sworn that there was someone behind me.

 

[The Ace]

The first thing of which Briony was aware was a curious slapping sound on the hull.

 

[Talysia]

Waking up to find that I had someone else's face was quite a shock.

 

[D_Davis]

What was, is; what is, was. What will be, is; what is, will be. Everything in all of creation exists right now, and at this very moment Justin Bailey closes his eyes and bathes in a moment of profound creativity.

 

[Talysia]

That evening, I was certain that I had experienced the exact same day for three days straight - and my diary corroborated that fact: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were all the same, even down to the conversations I had, word for word.

 

[Ghost of Harrenhal]

He landed face first in a thick soupy mixture of mud and ****...

Doesn't that just make you feel like chocolate pudding?

EDIT: Oh I see i got censored of course! xD Well I think you know what I meant...

 

[Ursa major]

The chalk broke; but not before he had written: "I must not make fun of the five-fingered aliens."

 

[The Ace]

He undogged the maintenace hatch yet again, rot these old 35 series.

 

[Talysia]

Lol! I like that one, Ursa!

Ray had always been a gambler, but when the stakes of the game was the fate of the world, he started to take his gaming a bit more seriously.

 

[Simian]

Backwards running was time discover to morning one up woke John.

I think you meant..."that which a donkey squeezes out of his backside during the better part of his morning..."

 

[Hilarious Joke]

HA HA HA HA, was this original?!

 

[Talysia]

Yep, that's a good one, all right!

When the ground opened up to reveal the doorway to some unknown realm, possibly hell, no-one wanted to go in there - not the military, not a commercial venture, not even a drunk teenager on a dare.

 

[Ishar]

Hakai slowly walked out of the den, placing his paws on the grass at the foot of the knoll.


thats the current start of my story.
