First Lines

[ratsy]

Looking out the window, he couldn't quite place the season. For that matter he couldn't place where he was. That was when he realized, he didn't even know who he was. He stepped backwards towards the bed and sat down. Something felt warm and wet beneath him. He turned to see the bloody lump on the bed. The only thing that was visible was a hand. A petite hand, with a matching ring to his own.

 

[Croaker]

As his attention shifted from the ragged stump of his forearm to the matching hand on the floor, all he could think to articulate was, "Hunh... looks like I dropped something."

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Well, I think it all started when Father refused to take me to the fair. I had been a very fragile child then.....

 

[Loaded]

...but one piece of history needed to be clarified in Lucy's mind first. She paused.

 

[GreenKidx]

There was an audible chrunch as ten year old Tony jerked his hands to the left and killed his mother...again.

 

[Pyan]

Just before the earthquake hit, I'd sneezed.

 

[Boneman]

As his attention shifted from the ragged stump of his forearm to the matching hand on the floor, all he could think to articulate was, "Hunh... looks like I dropped something."

(Missed this before: made me laugh out loud)

The money wouldn't change me. But spending it would.

 

[Interference]

I'd fallen. Like an Angel. Like an optimistic lover. Like a price on the stock exchange. Like someone had cut my parachute.

 

[Starman]

"The girl fled across the wintry woodland, and her reindeer ran beside her."

 

[paranoid marvin]

The river divides the city like no-man's land divides front-lines ; with casualties on both sides.

 

[reiver33]

"I want to revisit my past, and I want to remain there."

 

[Allanon]

We can arrange for you to go back, but you may not like what happens after....

 

[Talysia]

When the first cracks appeared, everyone was excited, but they didn't realise that what would eventually emerge would be dangerously far from what they were expecting.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

It was something I always wanted to do, but never had the courage to do until now......

 

[J Riff]

It was a dark and stormy night so Delbert stayed inside where it was bright and warm. It was his first mistake.

 

[Interference]

"Don't stop," I said. It must have sounded like "Don't. Stop," because she didn't and she stopped.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Once upon a time, there lived a princess....





(I know, smartass that I am.)

 

[Interference]

You make me want to know more, Karn

 

[ScrambleEggHead]

There they stood. The same place they stood a thousand times hence, but something had changed.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

You make me want to know more, Karn

How about "she lived in the highest room of the tallest tower of a castle built upon the highest mountain of the world surrounded by a pit of boiling white-hot magma and guarded by a terrible trio of minstrel sprites that only know how to sing Like A Virgin but with very nasally voices."?
