Re: First Lines
Never spend a first date burying a corpse. Trust me - it lacks romance.

Love it, Cap

She wasn't the first one who ever told him their love would last forever, but he'd pretty much decided she was going to be the last.

James was dead bored, probably something to do with the large hole in his head

Re: First Lines
Call me stupid, but I thought saving the world three times in a row was supposed to make you popular? If that is the way things are supposed to go, then why am I hanging upside down whilst the public are being encouraged to poke me with big sticks?

Re: First Lines
The smell of last night lingered in his nostrils, the echoes of last night lingered in his ears. What lingered in his head was altogether different.

He was defenseless, weak, a prime target.

Once, upon the Tyne, there was a Premiership football club.

Re: First Lines
It wasn’t considered murder back then. The law may have changed now but in those days the most I could be charged with was animal cruelty. I rifled through his clothing looking for anything of value then used his own lighter to set fire to his corpse. His oily green skin caught quickly and as the smell of burning flesh wafted towards me, my stomach rumbled. They taste like pork you know. Ironic, isn’t it?

Re: First Lines
As her battered form was dragged down the hallway in chains, Zoe wondered how she had managed to get herself into this predicament.

Two things happened to me that morning so long ago. The first being the best omlette I have ever eaten. The second...I found out I could fly.

The man in the mirror was holding a gun to my head, but it wasn't my face, and I was alone.

Re: First Lines
I sat in the police station watching a gruesome attack on a monitor. Who would do such a thing, I thought to myself. Then I saw the assailants face and though I had no memory of it, I understood why I was wearing handcuffs.
