Final lines....

The river canyon that had carried them for fifteen miles finally ended. The raft they had made from the wreckage of the ship stuck an outcropping of rocks. The raft began to sink. It didn't matter. The outcropping of rocks had saved them from going over a waterfall of immense height, probably 1000 meters at least. From here they could see the city, and the ocean. Soon they would be warm and dry, and they would have food to eat.
 
Men, women and children, anyone who could count themselves as a seer stopped. Everywhere. Together at once, they looked up to the sky and warned. "They're coming."
 
Rastin dusted off his jacket and looked out over the cliff.
Dazed and confused, Marlin too got up off the floor and looked up at Rastin, 'Is it over? Is he dead?' he asked, blinking in the renewed sunlight.
'I hope so,' said Rastin. 'Well the worlds safe now, I guess. Bout time, really; I was getting a bit bored. I'm off.'
Eyes wide in disbelief, Marlin watched as Rastin walked down the slope towards the village. He really hated Rastin, even though this was the third time now they'd saved everyone together, 'This is the last time,' he muttered to himself. 'You can do it on your own next time, yer plank. Oh, I'm never going to hear the end of this,' he continued as he followed him down the hill, and home.
 
As he drifted off into the darkness of space all he could think about was his dog. He looked down and pressed the button that released his helmet, instantly freezing his body.
 
Nooooo, he wasn't freezing the dog, he was freezing himself while thinking of his dog.
 
*Picking up the scent of his master nearby, Shep hopped up to the space port window in time to see his master opening his space helmet and instantly freezing himself* 'Woof' growled shep and hopped down in search of some doggy biscuits.

That's dogs for you Pyar, only interested in thier stomachs :)
 
hahahaha thats awesome nj1!!

A peculiar man laughed softly to himself in the distance. I raised my gun towards him, hoping that this would finally be the last one.
 
(I've had an opening line for a story for many years now that was very similar:

"Hi, I'm back," she said as she disembarked from her time machine, wondering why no one seemed to recognise her ...

:D)
 
In the silence after I finished talking the two detectives, uniformed officer and duty solicitor all stared at me. Finally the DCI stirred himself.

"That has to be the biggest load of bollocks I've heard in my entire career."

I smiled.

"Prove it."
 
And now, when people hearing that she worked for the CPS declared how boring it must be, she only had to tell them about the most convoluted and fantastical alibi in British legal history - and how she alone had been able to break it - to put them right.
 
The dog temporarily refrained from sniffing around the floor of the kitchen, looked up at the man and said, "The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe."
The man that was talking to the dog looked at the dog and said, staring in somewhat aberrant disbelief, "You can't say that!" The man proceeded with a succession of contractions. "You can't, it doesn't, I won't, it hasn't it isn't, it even ain't, it couldn't, it wouldn't, it shouldn't."
The dog smiled and wagged his tail. "Of course it can. It does, you will, it has, it is, it could, it would, and it shall. I do it all of the time."
After several moments of what would appear to be a staring contest between the man and the dog, the dog said, "Would you like to come with me next time?"
The man replied, "I thought you'd never ask!"
 
He looked down at his feet, waiting for his judgment. Once again he had failed his master.
 
"You know what?"
"What?"
He smiled, gently.
"I didn't even need the money..."
 
He tried to say something, but only blood came from his mouth and he died.

I let him fall backwards over the parapit and the train carried his body away.
 
"I've been dead, a hero, a god, a villain, a legend and a monster. I think retired and married is a nice way to top off that list."
 
"The future sure isn't what it used to be." She said with a beaming smile of satisfaction.
"You can say that again!" He replied with a nod, and a wink.
"The future sure isn't what it used to be." She said again, this time with a grin toward her friend.
"I think I'm having Deja Vu." He said.
"I think I'll join you." she said, and reached for his hand.
