Challenge
Who has got the BEST First Liner?
Can you make us thirsty for an entire novel by writing your BEST first line?
Write the BEST first line to the next story that you never knew you wanted to tell. Sell us on your big idea in forty (40) words or less, no more. Draw us in by saying everything to overwhelm our minds with excitement or say just enough to lure us in and have us lusting for the next four-hundred pages. Any Genre is allowed. The object is to grab us at the beginning and to make us never want to let go. Must be done in one sentence. Happy writing!
Golem story - first line
It was a dusty day, December 1938, and everybody in the Prague Jewish ghetto knew that snow was coming; the anxious tittering had started, and neighbors descended from their houses to fall upon the market like vultures to a carcass.
