2012 Monday Challenge: A First Line Every Week

[Darkkin]

My brother, bless his bumbling heart, is an idiot, a lovable, overbearing one, but an idiot nonetheless; this must be firmly understood if anything good is to come of this tale.

Ages of dust, dirt, and mildew clung to everything in the old abandon barn exept one imposible set of footprints leading out, but how did they get in?

[Darkkin]

This child, she has a gift, a rare capacity to love unconditionally, to laugh without fear, to smile through the pain of the world around her, to forgive the deepest of wrongs, to know the true, pure joy of life; she knows a secret of the ages.  - Aster, Child of the Hinterlands

Yes, jump in when you're ready!

To some it was a wagon in pieces on the porch, to another it was a beginning, a place to start.

[Brandi_R]

Miss Gray pulled into the lot five minutes after the session was supposed to start.

I checked my buckles one last time before taking a leap off the cliff.

[Brandi_R]

Freeways weren’t my favorite. Put a kid with just a few hours behind the wheel on a road like that and there go a few weeks off my life. Every time.

[Darkkin]

"No man is an island, it is said..."  She grinned.  "But then again, I am no man."

[Darkkin]

The day dawned cold and dark, the clouds spewing an icy mist as the small group gathered around the hole torn from the raw earth; it was an end and a beginning as tears became lost in the fog.

[Brandi_R]

"No, we tried," Lisa said. "Don't think you can sit there and say we didn't."

[Darkkin]

In the heart of a dark, dark place folded within the bowels of a deep, deep world there is a rose.

[Brandi_R]

Dark was closing in on Finn and he still hadn’t found his dog.

[WildBlossom]

The noble warrior stepped forward,

"I'm the one you're looking for."

[Darkkin]

Anne had lived her entire life through that window, and now what she had seen, what she knew could spell her doom.

[WildBlossom]

"You are the warrior I've been looking for?" Laughing, the cat wasn't sure if he could believe such a small, helpless looking warrior, "Yeah right. Prove it." he challenged.

[Brandi_R]

Quilts were stacked in her basement, folded and stuffed in the rafters of the garage and tacked up on the walls of her home, both inside and out.

[Darkkin]

Aria was caught in a battle not of her choosing, but that of fate's; a freak mutation, double dominant, a time bomb in her chest waiting to explode.  This was no novel, this was her life...

[WildBlossom]

"If it's proof that you seek, then so be it." replied the warrior.

Leaping forward, he landed on the unsuspecting cat, knocking him onto his back and scratched him across the face.

"Is that enough proof that I am the warrior you're looking for?" he challenged.
