"Screw it." from Eulogy is a particularly amusing first line.
:D
I like them all, but these made me especially curious to read on:
"It will end the way it began."
"I only thought I saw it."
"She knocks on his door twenty minutes after her father forgets to breathe."
"I slowly surface through the layers of sleep, becoming aware of a pressure on my cheek and a soft breeze fanning my face." (that one's especially pretty)
Good stuff! And thanks for including the links, because now I can come back and read them all. :)
Thank you :) And I'm glad they made you curious. I guess that means they work!
It's funny, I don't particularly like that last one. Partly because it's one of the very rare times I used first person, and I'm not a fan. And it doesn't "feel" like me, much more description and physicality than my normal, and it just feels awkward to me. Maybe it's because I'm not comfortable writing like that, so it seems off to me. Not sure if any of that makes sense...

I really like that one, especially the last half of it.
