Hook me in 20 words or less

[faithful follower]

Looking at the baby sleep, tears welled up in my eyes because I knew she would never wake again.

 

[DanteRisen]

okay, so this is 21 words, not 20...


The Emperor was dead. That was why he was here, on a deserted road miles from what most would call civilization.

The wreath on the door said it all. This was a house of mourning.

"I am an agnostic, but I pray everyday, hoping He will make me an atheist."

How about a little sacarsm? No offence

I am not a novelist. Honestly, I don’t even like books – I’m just a vindictive time traveler.

We were screaming downward like a comet, everything around us a horrific roar as the ocean hurried up to meet us.

 

[Tariel]

Forget throwing out wads of paper – now we have technology. Computer. Window. Do you see where I’m going with this?

 

[sunstruckdream]

Close this book. I mean it. The moment they know you know, they come for you.

 

[Tariel]

You think this is just a story, don’t you? That’s a problem – now you won’t believe a word I say.

She'd been missing for ten days when she was found dead in a field covered in mysterious wounds.

 

[Tariel]

I honestly didn’t think squirrels were capable of being psychopaths, but in the end that was what made me vulnerable.

 

[TexasBluebonnet]

With the last nail hammered, the old man wipped his sweaty brow. And looking upwards fell down dead.

 

[Tariel]

She did it. She killed them all. Her life’s work, finished before she was twenty. “Now what?”

 

[Inkachu]

(Tariel, I love the one about the squirrels LOL)


Looking out the window, I didn't like the way the sky had turned that ugly shade of neon green.

The swords clang together, creating sparks. As blood gushed from the wound on my neck, I realized death was an ever nearing possibility.

23, a few over. Not bad.

 

[sunstruckdream]

I threw up on my wedding day, all over my intended and a two-thousand dollar gown. Sound horrific? Stay with me. I was dead before my wedding night.

The darkness crept like a stealthy robber of life.....for by morning, the town lay in silence, breathing no more.

 

[Tariel]

My uncle checked his word count. I sighed. Internet games were going to kill him – in fact they already had.

*I like yours, sunstruck*

 

[sunstruckdream]

*Thanks I always like yours as well*
*I'm SO happy this thread is coming to life again*

It takes skill to break a piece of furniture the size and solidity of a small truck. What can I say? I guess I'm talented.

 

[Tariel]

*Thanks *
*I'm glad it's coming to life too*

Yesterday I made a list of ten people I will stop at nothing to kill – seven of them don’t exist.
