Write an opening line for this picture:
Edith: The fire started slowly, but as soon as it hit the gasoline I’d poured onto the water, I watched as the whole damn marina went up, and Kenny with it. Good damn riddance.
Liz: He needed a fast exit out of town, and one of these boats was it. Good thing there were plenty to choose from.
Barb: At at precisely 5:32 am, I heard a scream, and then a splash.
Sherry: I’d been wondering what the eerie white light coming from the boat was all night. This morning I headed over to find out.
Julie: They promised that she would eventually stop glowing. But here it is, day three, and she’s still a human nightlight. Next time some guy offers us Sparkle and Shine Moonshine out of the back of a van, we really need to walk away. The neighbors are starting to talk.
Jessie: Kevin should have thought twice before he drained our joint savings account to buy that sailboat. He knows darn well the trouble I have with sea sickness.
Hey! I was cold!
Funny, Reine!
“I knew if I got on the boat with him I’d never get off alive, because his goons were right behind us.”
Love it, Ruth!
Julie, I love yours!
Here’s mine:
The sun rise was especially beautiful that morning. I rarely see them since normally I work at night. It always made it worth taking the job that required me to kill my target on his way to work. Why was my client so specific? I had no idea. It’s always better not to ask questions in this line of work.
I love it Mark! I think you are a writer at heart even though you say you aren’t!
Thank you, Sherry. That means a lot.
Thanks Mark!
Anastasia stared behind me, over the bow, transfixed by her image in the water.
“Ow!” I turned to my wife. “Stop hitting the back of my head.”
She pointed at my computer screen. “Stop including point-of-view problems in this damn boat story.”
LOL, Barb! Not everyone may think this is as funny as I do, but not everyone had lunch with you either!
I thought you’d like that.
I’m laughing, too, Barb. Very funny.
Thanks, Mark!
Julie, if your book is half as funny as your post above, I’m buying it!
Thank you Barb!
