We haven't played this game for a while.


The Pick Up line/Opening Line/First line Game

Post the first line of the main story or stories that you are working on.

Then, those of us reading them can reply with:
Does it or doesn't it make you want to read more?

And for the fun of it:
Guess the genre?
Guess what happens next?

Sounds fun! Here's mine (plus the second because my first line is so tiny--sorry for my flagrant disregard for the rules!):

The owl was a bad omen. Nerie found it sitting perched in broad daylight on the naked limb of an old tree just outside the tavern door.

Very cool! Here are the first lines from two pieces I'm working on:

The only light was that from the anorexic waning moon, barely enough to line the edges of the dark foliage with the barest edge of silver. Just enough to keep from tripping.

Maybe, I screamed all the way down.

Here's another opening line from something else I'm working on.

"It has been approximately 91 years, 4 months, and 27 days since we've been in the simulation. Each day is worse than the last."

"Leopold Cates never wanted to be important."

More than one sentence but literally all I have of the story...

I realize it's been a while since this was posted, but I just started something I'm really having trouble with the beginning and logistics of, so I figured I'd throw it out there.

We traveled to a world where Morse code became our own personal language. "I suppose this is good," he said in dots and dashes, "since I could never find the right words to tell you how beautiful you are." So I suppose this is good. But I wish I could hear him say my name again.
