First Lines

[HoopyFrood]

"Have you seen him recently?"

"No not for a while. The last time we spoke he said he had found a web site called The Chronicles or something..."

Oh, I like that one!

 

[Zubi-Ondo]

If I've told you ten times, I've told you a hundred. Don't touch that cross-dimensional transmutation button... button... button...

(I posted this as a final line, but then thought it might just as well work for a first line)

 

[Interference]

(A first and a last line in the same book, perhaps)


There was just one more thing he hadn't done. Shouldn't take too long, he thought.

Wrongly, as it turned out ....

 

[Anomander]

On the morning of his twentieth name day, Ghavast woke up, and his life changed forever.

The arrow came from the direction of a group of priests wearing the sky-blue of Shah, God of Peace, and took my companion clean through the throat.

Finding that you'd suddenly lost two months would come as a surprise to anyone - especially under such circumstances.

 

[Interference]

There's a word for it. A word for where you have to start all over again and try not to make the same mistakes. A word for taking a set-back and making it work to your benefit.

[dustinzgirl]

Yawn. Damn. There's vomit on my bed, again.

 

[Talysia]

When the archaeologists uncovered the skeleton, it was hailed as the single most important event of the century.

 

[Interference]

I usually love Mondays. Plenty to do. Lots of tired-looking commuters, hungover workers ... yeah, Mondays are great days for us demons.

 

[Talysia]

Good one, Interference.

Something was coming. Something so important that it would change the world forever.

 

[Interference]

(Thanks, Tal )

As far as anyone knew .....

 

[Talysia]

Time seemed to slow as the feather drifted down towards my outstretched hand.

 

[Interference]

(beautifully enigmatic, Tal - a bit like your avatar, in fact )
