Hook me in 20 words or less

[Barrenlimb]

I'll give it a whirl.

~~~~~~~~

It was an ordinary day, if by ordinary, you mean having your wife leave you, boss fire you, landlord evict you and getting stuffed in the trunk of a Chevy.

 

[Nilla]

I knew it, the very first time I knew this would be..

 

[ena33]

With a smile I closed my eyes and opened my arms wide. Today anything was possible.

Some stories should never be forgotten, as they hold the key to freedom. This was the most important one, forgotten...

(This is similar to the one in my RPG. This is the OOC thread; follow it to the main thread to find my full post. I think you will enjoy it. http://www.christianforums.com/t5619877-ooc-stone-of-eternity.html)

 

[Brynwizard]

Life intrudes. Or so I thought until I spotted the eighty-foot mega-shark, and then I thought death intrudes. Big time.

 

[NavyGuy7]

Lol!!!!!!!!

 

[Lessien]

Despite everything you've ever been told, squirrils are actually quite vicious and power-hungry little creatures.

^^^is it bad that i laughed aloud??

(not in a bad way. i like this one a lot)

 

[Shabby]

The barrel of the handgun felt cold against my cheek and I suddenly wished I hadn't heard that conversation years ago.

 

[sunstruckdream]

Poison. The pads of my fingers, rather than being red with nectar, were tinged a sallow yellow-green. The peach slipped from my fingers, and I let it roll.

 

[avatarblade2000]

Tad sniffed.

Waffles.

He grimaced.

Why? In the wilderness, of all places, was he smelling waffles?

It wasn't fair.

 

[Christianfantasy]

More great lines!

Lessien, I hope you were serious about the squirrels; you summed up my views on the little beasts perfectly.

Sunstruck, were you thinking of Labyrinth when you wrote that last one? I loved it!

Avatar: you made me LOL--and I love to laugh!

Here's another:

“You’re disgusting!”
“No, you’re disgusting!”
Brill turned away; watching a pair of toad-monkeys argue had never been his favorite pastime.

 

[avatarblade2000]

Thank you.

Toad-monkeys = HOOKED.

This is, by the way, an awesome thread.

 

[ena33]

I know, it's over the limit.

Gwenora held the lamp close to her body as she snuck outside the door. Kyna was a light-sleeper, and more than once she had caught Gwenora sneaking out during the night.

 

[avatarblade2000]

You see, monsters don't really exist.

Trevor, however, failed to remind himself of this when one came crashing through the bushes toward him.

...

Whoops, too long. My bad.

 

[jennidawn]

She laughed, the kind of laugh that filled a room and caused everyone to laugh with her.

 

[NavyGuy7]

The blood...the blood dripped down the wall, looking like red lightning. They were coming. They would...

I wake up.

 

[ena33]

In that bottomless pit of despair I believed that life was a meaningless journey through halls that never ended and yet were filled with horrors and problems--never had I thought to look for the good in life.

man, over the limit again!!

 

[PublicNewSense]

Morning hid ominously behind a veil of disquieting darkness, revealing itself only through the anxious assail of my 8am alarm.

No kidding, this is hard, but very effective, I think. Good exercise for writer's block. Is there anyone critiquing us?

 

[Becky153]

Blackness overwhelmed me, and the last thing that I could clearly see was the smiling faces around me.
