Hey guys! I always love reading the first line of a story, and I figured this would be a great place for everyone to share their favorite first lines from their stories!
Here are mine:
[name_u]Christmas[/name_u] With The Kanes: “For the record, it’s not my fault that the kitchen smells like an arsonist’s daydream.”
[name_u]Delta[/name_u] [name_u]Langley[/name_u] Is NOT The Main Character: “No matter how many times she was kidnapped, [name_u]Delta[/name_u] never did get used to the way the ropes rubbed against her wrists.”
[name_u]True[/name_u] Colors: “Emalyn could no longer remember what color the sky was.”
Shock Value: “There was something oddly surreal about staring at one’s own grave.”
[name_u]Welcome[/name_u] To [name_f]Selma[/name_f]: “If there was one thing [name_f]Davina[/name_f] had learned, it was this: do not, under any circumstances, teach crows poetry.”
Tahamine stepped out of the cold end-of-November weather and through the sliding glass doors of [name_u]Saint[/name_u] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] [name_m]General[/name_m] Hospital.
The Guard Of Dosta Book #1: It was a day on which [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] Sutton’s life could change forever.
The Twice-Cursed [name_f]Princess[/name_f]: It was a sunny day, the kind on which it was hard for anyone to stay in a bad mood.

The [name_f]Princess[/name_f] And Her Servant Prologue: It was a warm summer night in [name_u]July[/name_u].
The [name_f]Princess[/name_f] And Her Servant Chapter 1 (since people sometimes skip prologues): There was a cloud of crows flying circles around the palace, their caws filling the morning air.

Eligible: It was a usual day in the [name_m]Fairbairn[/name_m] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] Herd.

Beware Of Dog 1: It was a normal morning in the city of [name_u]New[/name_u] Doggville.
Beware Of Dog 2 (currently the first line): “I haven’t been here in ages,” [name_u]Rose[/name_u] said as she led the group through the tiny town.

@smileymiley of course! I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you, I’ve been quite busy!
Here’s some brief synopsis’s:
[name_u]Christmas[/name_u] With The Kanes: It’s been nearly four years since [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] Kane’s family all been together for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]. After her eldest sister dropped out of college and ran off to Europe, the family was never quite whole again, especially with her other two siblings leaving home not long after. But this year is different. It’s the first year having everyone home since [name_u]Harper[/name_u] left, and it has to be absolutely perfect– not a bough of holly out of place!
Until, of course, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] shows up with her new fiancé no one has ever met claiming their wedding is in two weeks. Now it’s a race to get everything ready and keep it perfect, which is a lot harder than it looks with a blizzard on the way, a missing dachshund, a broken family heirloom, missing [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] lights, and a cute boy who refuses to give out discounted coffee.
With this be the holly jolly holiday Natalie’s been dreaming of? [name_u]Or[/name_u] will everything go down in shambles?
[name_u]Delta[/name_u] [name_u]Langley[/name_u] Is NOT The Main Character: In Novelle City, it’s pretty clear what role everyone plays. [name_u]Logan[/name_u] [name_m]Scully[/name_m] is the handsome boy next door who’s secretly in love with his best friend. [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] [name_u]Tate[/name_u] is the charming new bad boy set out to steal the hero’s heart. [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Chaos[/name_m] is the villain out to destroy the world. And [name_u]Delta[/name_u] [name_u]Langley[/name_u]? Well, she’s the loyal sidekick. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Cromwell, otherwise known as [name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_m]Luck[/name_m], is the main character of this story, and the hero of Novelle City. But [name_u]Delta[/name_u] doesn’t want to be the sidekick anymore. She’s tired of being pushed to the side, forgotten on the sidelines. So, with a little help from [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Chaos[/name_m] and his rather attractive new henchmen, [name_u]Delta[/name_u] sets out to prove that she is the main character of her own story– no matter what it takes.
Viper/Mabel/Golden [name_m]Haze[/name_m] (name isn’t finalized yet) Version 1 Prologue
The sun rose over the horizon. Chapter 1
Slowly, I lifted my head and looked over at [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
Version 2 Prologue
“What are you making?” [name_f]Clara[/name_f] asked. Chapter 1
“Hello?” I heard someone say.
Arlot + O’lay War (I don’t have a name yet, but that’s what I’ll call it for now)
“General [name_m]Johnson[/name_m], hello! How are you? We weren’t expecting your return yet, you were meant to be out for another week, if I am not mistaken. Has something happened?” I said, surprised to see him when I opened the door.
Note: I count dialogue as one sentence, no matter how long it is, I don’t know if I should, I just do. Also, if you are reading this, I would love to know your opinion on these. They aren’t very good, but let me know what you think, and if you are interested in hearing about the story. (If not, that is fine, I just don’t feel like typing out a long description at the moment, but I will if someone wants to hear it).
