Care to share the opening lines from your current WiP?

I'm having loads of fun writing Barnum's Revenge (the sequel to Fur-Face). Here's the (current ) opening paragraph:

Inside one of the metal garbage cans behind the Laughing Milkmaid pub, Snowy gripped the handle of the upturned lid above his head with both front paws.
    If he gets in here, I’m dog food.    Dense blackness closed in around

Since you ask; from _Brothers, Keepers, Losers, Weepers_

A homicide investigator sees some truly ugly things, and that’s an understatement. The two eye-witnesses willing to talk, an elderly white woman who had been eating a soft chicken taco and the black man who managed the fast-food franchise, agreed that the decedent, Ashlee Matthews, had spent the last few minutes of her life convulsing. This was confirmed by the three-minute cell phone video a bystander, who claimed not to have seen what happened, had taken. I watched that after getting their statements, and noticed that the two of them were the only people among the dozens present who made any attempt to intervene.

Your opening sentence caught me. And the last one put a strong cap on the sad scene. Well done.
