Beginnings.

Hey People,

Here is another assignment we had to do at the start of the summer session. We had to come up with ten opening sentences to short stories we may write down the road. Oddly enough this lesson was to teach us NOT to start at the beginning.

Enjoy!

1. As she peaked out of the linen closet to make sure the coast was clear, Lenore wasn’t proud of what she had done but cigarettes were hard to come by in a nursing home.

2. When he looked around the Benny didn’t recognize any of the buildings and he didn’t remember ever seeing a flying car before.

3. With his Tony award in scattered pieces on the floor, Roscoe realized he’d never lay a paw on the Broadway stage again.

4. Looking into his eyes for the last time, Emily knew this was the best thing for both of them.

5. After making his wish Ted didn’t think he day was going to end like this, when he looked over his cubicle wall and noticed that everyone had vanished.

6. In a blink of an eye, Norman O’Dell, gentleman farmer, saw his entire future change to something he could have never imagined and it was just getting started.

7. After Anna’s mother told Rick she was awake, he wasted no time in getting to the hospital to see her sparkling blues eyes for the first time in over eleven years.

8. The last line he typed in the chat window to luvlump856 was, “Yes, I would love to meet you.”

9. Allison never meant for both of them to die, just him.

10. Walking peacefully along the canal trail, birds diving for bugs on the water, joggers jogging, bikers biking, I wondered why I ever chose to move here.
