Final lines....

Any Alan Rickman line ever uttered in a piece of cinema.

In fact, I think I shall compile all of his dialogue and try to create a coherent story from those tidbits of drama, those delicious fragments of speech, those evil sneers of genius. Who else is allowed to cancel kitchen scraps for the orphans while simultaneously calling off Christmas? Yippee ki ay, Alan Rickman!
 
"I think we need to call in on Cliffsea," Captain Marsh said, "and have a word with Velma Stone--she might like to explain her behaviour towards you, Pam."
"Aha, yes," Pamela said, through gritted teeth, clenching her fists as she spoke. "That would be good..."
 
Yes, I said feeling my own face wrap into an answering grin of welcome, I’m home.
 
Hahaha oh dear...I was aiming a lil refraction in it :wink: and there were also swarms of locusts...
 
So you see, Your Honor, in the end, it's not as careless as you might make it seem. I was following a parry with a thrust during fencing when I ran my brother through. I thought he was properly wearing his armor.
 
Final lines in my first WIP:

'He's gone,' she said, and tried to sit up. Bastian stopped Emylynn with a hand on her shoulder. She stared up at him and tears brimmed in her eyes. 'They're all gone.'
 
A single tear ran down his cheek as he remembered the achievements of his race. Everything was gone now. The thousands of worlds that burned no longer mattered. It was over. The threat had been contained. Surrounded by a million of his own kind, he looked up at the Core. Blue bands of energy lashed out, filling the vast chamber with pale blue light. Soon they would all be one. A million bodies fell to the floor. The Core bathed the chamber in brilliant white light.

Huh. No clue where that came from. But that would be an awesome ending lol.
 
I tried to save the world. But people will always be people. If you can stop one person from destroying the planet there will always be a line up behind them willing to do the same. Our one chance has failed.
 
"Rather enjoyed speading the final moments with the last dying alien invader."

"You spoke to one of them?"

"Yes."

"What did the alien say?"

"He said, AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh. (cough cough cough) Argh, erk-k.....blah...."

"Oh."
 
One by one, ancient orbiting machines dormant for millennia awoke, and added their powers to those of their master. Time for the stars. This time, there would be no retreat.

(Something like this will the final line of something I have in the works. 20,000 words, and only just started on the story. Won't work at less than epic length. I wonder whether I have the time to finish it??)
 
The final line of something I am writing will go something like this, several thousand years after the events of the story, a father and son are sitting in a field. Of course this would probably be drawn out to a page in length, but I can't wait to finally write this scene lol.



The boy looked up at the night sky. There were thousands of stars, all brilliant points of twinkling light.

"Is one of those Sol, or Epsilon?

"No, Sol is far, far away. Too far to see."

"The story you told earlier. Do you think He will ever come back?"

"I don't know. He's been gone for a thousand years now. Maybe one day he will."

"What's that?" The boy looked up, and a light fell from the sky. It landed on a gentle hill, half a mile off. A ramp extended from the glassy ship, and a single figure stepped out onto the grass.


The End.
 
The wait was finally over and the crowd couldn't have been more ready. All efforts to curb the asteroid failed; the world was in its last few minutes. Some took to each others arms, while others just drank the kool-aid and let it kill them. Better to have the last thing you taste be raspberry than intergalactic rock dust.
 
Okay, I went a bit over. But I hope you'll all forgive me for breaking the rules. This is a (possible) end to the story that I began in the evoking emotions thread. My characters have just experienced the futuristic equivalent of a water birth:

*********

As she eased herself into the chaise longue and strapped herself in, Lizzie could not help but think, "By Jove, Nixie, you were right. A space birth was definitely the way to go."

Alex handed her their new daughter as he said, "Let's see how breastfeeding goes in zero-g."

"You are wicked, Alexander diCarlo," she replied as she loosened her robe. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."
 
The air got colder as the clouds rolled in. There was something ominous about their red hue. As the thunder and lightning began, blood started falling from the sky. It covered the land and as Henry sought shelter he knew this was not the end, but the beginning.
 
As he surveyed the frozen battlefield, twisted hunks of metal and red streaks of snow marring the arctic beauty, Captain Macdonald had only one thought on his mind. Was it worth the cost?
 
He smiled, his eyes unreflective pools of night; "Better the Devil you know."
