Hook me in 20 words or less

[Dahlia1]

The day my brother sawed off a dead deer's head and hung it from our porch was the day I finally realized that he was destined for prison.

Wright... and Fey... they face off in teh courtroom....

"I can do anything you can do better..." they start singing.

The restraints held me fast, struggle as I might. Alan lay dead on the floor. I saw the doctor swivel about slowly and approach me, hypodermic in hand...

[Inkachu]

Two gigantic hands clasped my face in an iron grip...I saw nothing but his blazing blue eyes, frenzied with passion...his lips approached mine...

(WOOHOOO lol .. 25 words)

 

[Dahlia1]

I should have made her buckle her seatbelt, I tell myself all too late.

 

[sunstruckdream]

Have you ever had your heart cut out?

Not likely, though I suppose it's possible.

Have you lived to tell about it?

Or is that just me?

 

[Inkachu]

We rounded the top of the hill. The first car of the roller coaster paused teasingly, then started slowly down. I heard a faint *chink*...my lapbar came unlocked.

One of my favorites was Churchill's six-word story:

For sale: Baby shoes. Never used.

Too sleepy to think of anything original just now.

 

[NavyGuy7]

Wow... that leaves a lot to the imagination....
That wasn't a story, don't count my words!
*stuffs words back into his bag*

 

[Lessien]

I am in love with SpongeBob SquarePants.

(Not an actual sentiment of mine! )

 

[Tariel]

Do not set yourself on fire. I learned this the hard way.

 

[NavyGuy7]

The scam. Hook, line, sinker. BAM!

 

[Christianfantasy]

Sunstruck and Tariel - you both made me LOL!

Lessien: thanks for the clarification!

Navyguy, points for using only six words! Is that a shortness record?

Alleycat, you scared me witless with the roller coaster, but then I'm terrified of the big ones already. People have been killed on those things!

Here is my new one:

According to the prophesy, he need only survive until his twenty-first birthday. Just twelve more hours. Unfortunately, a lot could happen in twelve hours.

 

[Thunderring]

Very well done. Fr a short one try this.

Two seconds she was dead.

Here's a long one for you.

He needed a star actress, she was perfect, the only problem was she wasn't willing.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

As the sky twisted and warped, and became a mangled mess of red and yellow, I wondered what I had...

Sorry, 20 words

A heartbeat. That's how long it took him to kill her.

 

[crossinfocus]

The conflagration raged as her temper rose in utter ..

 

[Christianfantasy]

Good one, Thunderring, about the actress! I was hooked.

Ninjitsu, I vote yours one of the funniest. I laughed out loud.

Crossinfocus ; What comes next? I'm curious!

Here's my new (long) one:

According to the prophesy, he need only survive until his twenty-first birthday. Just twelve more hours. Unfortunately, a lot could happen in twelve hours.

 

[Lessien]

Here's a short one:

You people are so spoiled.

 

[Livingadream2]

Two spotted. One white. Seven gold.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

I'm starting a book when the idea comes more together, but I have thebeginning planned out. Tell me which opening line sounds best.

Two words; angels exist. I would know.

I was supposed to die. Things don't always go according to plan.

My chest heaved, as a sharp pain shook through my body. I was having a heart attack?
