This is something I struggled with for literal years! Here’s my current iteration:
“He gazed down at his body from where the ceiling should have been.”
I say I won’t buy any more books until I’ve finished the ones I have, and then I laugh at myself.
Now that, @law0413, is the opening line of a story I want to read!
It was such fun to read all of your first lines!
Mine is this: “Rosamund woke in the grey dawn to the smell of smoke.”
fear no evil | may evil fear you
This looks fun xD
This is the first line of my novella:
“Nearly there,” the soldier whispered as he and another man ran through the mud, carrying the stretcher that held his best friend’s broken body.

I’m a fan of simple wording. I believe my first line is: “Where the mountains meet.”

There’s so many interesting story beginnings here… I sincerely hope that one day I can read each and every one of them in their completed form. 😊
This line is from my newest project:
“The huntress crouched beneath the golden grass, her fingers curling around the smooth shaft of her long spear.”
What I know in my head and what I believe in my heart are two entirely different things.
Me too, @arindown. But I’m curious…is your first line actually a fragment, or are you just including the first part of your first sentence?
I actually have two books published, @winter_rose, and one coming soon. You can check them out on my website here: https://shardsofsevia.wordpress.com/
I can’t answer your question for sure at the moment, I’m still working it out.😄 Whatever looks better, sounds better, and is more grammatically correct, I guess.

Your guys’ lines are so good!
Mine is this:
“My sword was as heavy as my resignation.”
What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
-1 Corinthians 15:36b@sarahfi, I don’t think it would have ever occurred to me to describe resignation as heavy, but I like it. It made me think.
