Re: First Lines

The snow fell in waves from the sky. In just a few hours the bloody heap of dead soldiers was covered with a prestine blanket of white. A new start, some would think, a clean slate to end the war.

They never did tell me what killed my dog. Now I know why.

Tomorrow didn't wait for today to finish...it just sort of crowded in there and push today out of line.

Re: First Lines

On his release from prison they told him he didn't do it and that the real murderer had been caught red handed, so how come he knew he was guilty.

Re: First Lines

He had no name, but that certainly wasn't going to keep the assembly drone from introducing himself. She was called Aera, and she had no intentions of being kept from her mission.

The last time I did this, I'm sure my leg didn't fall off.

Re: First Lines

The last time I did this, I was younger, fitter, and more careful. Now, I don't care who gets hurt.

Re: First Lines

I killed someone today. Not unusual for a human but you see, I'm not human.

Re: First Lines

(Sorry, folks, didn't realise I'd double-posted )

It bleeped at me again. If I could just remember what it meant. Had it anything to do with the way people were running away from me? Maybe that was just my B.O. Why couldn't I remember?
