Re: First Lines
Nice one, Culwch

Not overly original but I always liked the opening to a piece I put together for critiquing ages ago:

and somethig new:

I've always avoided disguises, with a life expectancy like mine the last thing I need is a false sense of security.

There was no escaping the fact that if he wanted it back, he had to go into the lair of the beast to get it.

It burned like hellfire, hotter than black rage; it took all the determination Alit had to hold on despite the stench of his own flesh burning.

In all the years she had known him, she had never seen this side of him.

Re: First Lines
She was beautiful; a fact that only registered after she was dead and even then it was an observation noted as a peripheral thought rather than an emotional response. After all, I had just killed her.

Okay, two lines... sorry.

Leiden trembled, the gun's barrel pressed firmly to his temple, threatening to blow the thought clear out of his head: how the hell am I going to get out of this?
