Who's Got The BEST First Liner? #3
Can you make us thirsty for an entire novel by writing your BEST first line? Sell us on your big idea in fifty (50) words or less, but it must be done in ONE sentence. Draw us in by overwhelming our minds with excitement or say just enough to lure us after the next four hundred pages? Any Genre allowed. Must be Prose. The object is to grab us at the beginning and to make us never want to let go. NO AI WRITING ALLOWED. I pick the winner. Please tag me, @ChrisSadhill in the comments, and I'll read and respond to your entry! Happy writing!
Something to live for
The halls were alive with the whispers of battlelines being drawn, as the king sweated and muttered in his bed, the gash on his chest festering as the hours dripped slowly by, he clinging to life, by imagining all the horrors he would inflict on his assassin, should he survive.
