Opening Lines

[mmerriam]

wordswoman posted a series of her opening lines in her live journal, and wanted other writers to do the same. The difference this time is that it does not have to be from a new work-in-progress, it can be from anything you've written. I told her I would, so I did. Without further ado, some of my opening lines.

• Charles downloaded the ghost by accident.

• The high, insistent wailing brought Rija back to her senses.

• "Sir, Theodore's in this mess because he's an idiot."

• When the spider spoke, Cassie McGowen knew she had lost what little of her mind was left.

• Tomorrow, I will walk into the flames.

• Rija stood ankle deep in cold sewage.

• The rain missed her.

That first one was a real gotcha for my particular reading tastes!

It is a good line, isn't it?
