Act like you are starting a story and write the very first sentence. You don't have to actually use it, this is just for fun!

1. Somedays I wish I could just melt into the floor, like today, for instance.
3. I wished I could dissapear right there and then.
4. Whatever it is, it exists, or has existed at one time...perhaps...and I have proof.
4. As cliche as it is, I think the sky is falling.

The cappucino colored sky gently illuminates the streets through my window.
The world can only throw so much at you.

At that very moment I felt so helpless, as if I were pinned to the ground in the path of a ravaging tornado.

By the way people, we were numbering the sentences, so please start with 8 next time.
Sorry again. :/

8. "I don't believe those stories anymore!"
11. No matter how I've been raised to choose wisely, I just know the first boyfriend I end up with will be an abusive psychopath who is "too old" for me.
12. That morning I awoke only to stare right into the eyes of my soon to be killer.(I think I will use this for my '09 NaNoWriMo)
13. I dove into the cold ocean as the waves came crashing towards the shore. (Possibly my NaNoNovel '09 first sentence!)
14. I'm twisted, there's no way to get around that...but he did.
15. I would never have seen them there if I had not been hiding just like they were, but for a very different reason.
16. It was that kind of thing where he was obviously into himself and obviously always right, and you wanted more than anything to prove to him that you would never be interested, but you couldn't because--once again--he was right.
17. My eyes scanned the familiar cemetery for the last time.
((good one, Celia!))18. I knew it was in vain, but I chased him, and was a huge mistake, no matter how beautiful he is...er, was.
19. There are several way to live a life, no matter how long it lasts.

21. I met him at the art museum and he seemed almost like he should be on display instead of walking around, breathing and alive.
22. I wished the world would be peaceful, but this, is not what I had in mind.
24. From where I stood, the snowy landscape looked so peaceful and pure, but as for those on the other side of the window...
25. Alas, sweet solitude, so often taken for granted yet so near impossible to gain.

26. Not even the most caffeinated Mountain Dew in the world--in fact, not even a Rock Star--could have lifted my spirits as I gazed into those cold, empty eyes, wishing more than anything that she was dead, and nothing worse.

29. My mother used to write poetry, too, they tell me.
30. The best and worst days of my life were one and the same.
Mod
33. I knew from the first moment i layed eyes on him that i would love him till the day I died, it turns out the day I died I knew that was a lie.

((ooh, nice one, Kriss!))35. It all started out with an egg, much like this one; glistening golden with brown-gold wings:
36. "Maggie!" I shouted. "The kitchen table tried to kill me again!"
Mod
(thanks!)
37. I honestly couldn’t even tell you why I liked him.
38. I really didn't want him to say it, but it was too late...and of course my cringing wasn't doing anything to stifle the look of adoration in his beautiful green eyes as he held me in his strong, warm arms and told me the words I had yet again failed to rid myself of hearing come out of such a wonderful man's mouth: "I love you."
Mod
(i like that one, its really good ^^)
