Weekly Challenge: Given First Line!

A single sentence is often enough to transport the reader into a new world, or bring forth forgotten memories.

For Our Readers:

I’ve come up with a few one-liners off the top of my head below. Pick one and write a post explaining what character comes to mind when you read that sentence. What characteristics do they have? How do you imagine them?

Choose one:

1)Her eyes twinkled in the sun as she sneaked away under their prying eyes.

2)He clenched his fists, so inexplicably angry at the world and all it had stolen from him.

3)I’m drowning in your presence, suffocating in your smile, and I love it.

4)After all he’d done for them, after all he sacrificed, they made him the monster.

For Our Writers:

Use one of the sentences I’ve come up with below and write a short story or poem with that sentence as the first line.

Choose one:

1)They say that ships leaving the shore carry every man’s dreams on board.

2)Flowers bloom in these cracks, around the messy scrawls of people long gone.

3)Something was lost in translation.
