First Lines

[queen_melia]

She watches them below, going about their petty lives. Little do they know what is about to come.

 

[Talysia]

Finding things out was her speciality, but when she started finding secrets messages hidden in the notes of popular chart music, she began to get worried.

 

[RJLeahy]

She was everything they wanted her to be. She was theirs.

and...

The albino was not happy.

 

[Urlik]

so far he'd counted 27 and the hairs on his neck told him the other 3 were just behind him.

 

[RJLeahy]

One more:

I sipped my coffee as she ran by the diner window, arms flapping and long red hair flying behind her like some great flamingo with a glandular problem.

 

[HoopyFrood]

You know how they say you always remember where you were when you heard about the abrupt death of someone famous? Well, I definitely remember where I was when I heard of my own death...

 

[Urlik]

waking up in the back of a transit van wasn't the best way to start the day, but being thrown out the doors onto the M4 before having a coffee and a cigarette quickly made it worse.

 

[Culhwch]

It's quite an exhilerating feeling to see a sunrise you were never meant to.

 

[Talysia]

Oh, I like that one, Culhwch!

My mind wandered, and the words I was writing turned into doodles in the margin, almost as though some other entity was controlling the pen.

 

[HardScienceFan]

after he awoke and had had a light breakfast,he shot his family(wife,two daughters),and ruined the butler 'droid.
So much for the morning exercises.
Hi Taly

miss you all
kiss you all

Love
Ben

 

[Talysia]

Good to see you again, Ben!

The flight had been smooth, with not even a hint of turbulence, yet when we touched down and the doors opened, I looked out on a wasteland that had not been there when I left, not two weeks ago.

 

[tricky_k_1972]

First contact turns out to be a let down because it wasn't contact at all, the new moon just hung there, shining brightly, reflecting everything and doing absolutely nothing, like it had for past 40 years.

 

[Aien]

OK.

"Can you take me home? The leprechaun told me to burn things..."

and

Bang

 

[Young stormlord]

"When deep comes, no one will be safe, but you." my grampaw said.

 

[Talysia]

Who dares to interrupt my sleep? the dry voice grated from the void.

 

[Interference]

It ended abruptly at 6:15 on the evening before, but no one noticed.

 

[Pyan]

"Well, at least we know that full power is not a good idea." said Grblik. "Where's the next nearest planet, then?"

 

[Precise Calibre]

"The stench of sulfur in the morning streets smelled distinctly like failure... or was it success? No, definitely failure."

 

[Talysia]

He gazed at the sky, envying the birds their wings, and wondering if he could ever reach the heavens.

 

[Mattastic]

(Ooh, this looks fun! And so many of these first lines are utterly brilliant! Here goes...)

"Sam felt the bone break under his fist and blood poured from the old man's nose. The room was silent but for the whimpering of his opponent -- each breath was held, waiting for Sam to die."
