Every story needs a good opening line or paragraph to begin with. For example some of my favourites include:

“One minute the teacher was talking about the Civil War. And the next minute he was gone.” –Goneby Michael Grant

“Newborn #485GA18M died on June 30, 2076, at 6:07 in the morning. She was three days old. The average lifespan of a human child, in the time since the break, was fifty-six hours.” –Partialsby Dan Wells

“The end of the world started when a pegasus landed on the hood of my car.”–The Last Olympianby Rick Riordan

“First the colors.Then the humans. That’s usually how I see things.Or at least, how I try.” -- The Book Thiefby Markus Zusak

"Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." -- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling

All of these are great books that I highly recommend.

But now its your turn.

Make up a fake title for a book then write the opening first line or paragraph.

Some Rules:

Nothing too excessive, the rating is PG.Characters from other books/movies can be used. But keep them in character please!Two entries per person.If you choose to write a paragraph rather than a sentence, please keep it within two.

Sounds easy? Hopefully it should be.

Good luck!

Additional note: I am going to be away for the next week, so when I get back I will read and comment on all the entries then!

This is probably the simplest contest ever. Just write about the stupidest thing you've done in your life. This will test how good you are at humour (not that I'm a king at that). But mind you, what you write must be real and not imagined. Preference will be given to humour and risk. Well, go on now!

Prompt:

Write a Six-word story.

Here is an example from Ernest Hemingway:

"For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn."

​Unleash your creativity under the 6-word limit!

Prompt:

Write a quote that represents yourself as a writer or reader now. The great part of doing this is that your quote may change when you revisit it as you become a more experienced writer!

Be Concise and Original!

Max 3 entries per person!

Remember to put your pen name next to the quote!:)

P.S. This contest is the continuation of 'Create Your Own Writer's Quote 4.'
