Re: First Lines
Once upon a time there was a young, orphan boy who got stabbed to death and then ripped apart by rabid dogs before the story I am about to tell you began.

It certainly does!


The raven landed lightly on the windowsill and cocked its head to one side, regarding him with mocking yellow eyes.

"Mommy, I think I went doody in my pants!" Hanna creid from the backseat. Marge turned around and was assailed by a horrid smell and Hanna, waving an empty diaper in front of her face.

"What do you mean, there are fairies here?" she cried, gazing in disbelief at the pair of giggling sprites.

Re: First Lines
It does sound like it'd make a good story, doesn't it?


Ahem!

They found the ruin deep within the earth, and no-one was prepared for what lay inside.

I think it might be the entire story, really. Conflict, resolution. The end.

In fact, "The End." could be the title!
Or "The Pointy End!"
Or "Bob Gets the Point!"
Or "The OTHER Deep Throat"
Or "The Grave Gravitas of Gargling a Gladius!"
Or-

Re: First Lines
ooh,love this one,brain working overtime already:

howzabout:

He looked perplexed at the formula in front of him, his life's work:it was pretty watertight proof that time travel was impossible,and here was this girl suddenly appearing in his living room,holding a copy of something called "the Journal of Spatiotemporal Engineering."
or less,seriously:
There was silence in the Council Room,as G'lotq slowly unfolded his daring plan to visit the third planet of this G3 sun,and abduct the being its inhabitants called "Elvis".
Or on a darker note:
A little while ago a good friend of mine told me it was safe again to visit Paris without a radation counter.
