First Lines

[silvermoon]

In the wake of the Lake Taupo eruption of June 2056, the ash-cloud spread slowly down over the northern half of the South Island; I was born under the Grey Wind...

 

[Kylara]

Unbeknown to you, your life is ebbing.

 

[prizzley]

There is no such thing as unselfish wizard.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Have you ever wondered why zombies eat brains? There's really a very simple explanation.

 

[Kylara]

The teleporter had frozen, again, and Algenon was only half materialised, again..."For goodness sake chaps! What am I supposed to do with half a leg?"

 

[subtletylost]

She teetered on the edge of life and death as I sat there beside her, gingerly smoothing her hair away from her face and hoping that help would get here soon.

 

[StilLearning]

Sweat rolls down the forehead of the immobile man.

 

[kshRox]

I watched the ice melt spreading an oil like shimmer through the scotch as the events of the past night kept repeating themselves in my head.

 

[detritusdave]

His arms flailed, pounding desperately to keep his head above the surface, to keep himself from sinking back into the reek that was suddenly everywhere.

 

[ratsy]

It wasn't until much, much later that I noticed her eye's had changed color.

 

[Grinnel]

"What do you mean, 'Oops'?"

 

[Grinnel]

“Ah'm a thief, a liar, a cheat, an’ ah even been a thug doin’ strong-arm work now‘n’ agin, but ah ain’t never killed no one!”

 

[ratsy]

Everything changed that day. The day my cell phone rang and I was on the other end.

 

[Dante DiBenedetto]

I'll take a stab.

It's only murder if they didn't have it coming, right?

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Nah, it's only murder if they stay dead...bloody zombies!

 

[ratsy]

If she was a ghost why could I touch her?

 

[subtletylost]

The last thing she expected was for the chicken to tell her that she couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with a baseball bat.

 

[WickedRestless]

The moon is fully visible, for the first time that anyone alive can remember.

 

[Galacticdefender]

Two tall, thin figures stood before a vast window, their faces illuminated by light from the blue-green world below.

 

[ratsy]

The lights came on and in the crowded room of prisoners there were two weapons in the middle of the floor. They all ran for the center of the room.
