The title of this post (minus the parentheses part) is what I titled my assignment for this. I'm only posting the assignments I have graded and got feedback from. I'm generally getting good grades, so I feel fine posting them on here.
They're my sentences. They're mine. >:-)
This assignment: Write beginning sentences for different novels, using a variety of genres and point-of-views.
But instead of organizing them based on number of syllables (8-12 per line), I'm numbering each sentence and retyping them so they look like regular sentences.
I'm so extra because I came up with non-generic names for some of the characters. And no- I didn't use any of my story characters. (I'm too much of a coward to do that lmao.) But I was thinking of some of my story scenes for a few of these. (*cough* 11 *cough* ;) heh heh)
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Bullets
were flying across the room, but Agent
Lily Parker knew she had
to get to the money first.
2. She
imagined him looking at her with
his light blue eyes and dark hair; she
blushed at the thought of it.
3. I
opened my eyes and saw that the
sky was green and the grass was blue.
4. You
didn’t know what to do as he stepped out
of the shadows; then the bomb landed
at your frozen feet with a single thud.
4. You
were daydreaming about your middle school crush
of all people while you were in geography class; you answered the teacher’s question
confidently with the date he first noticed you running late to class.
5. Alix
and Reyes tapped at the controls of the spaceship, attempting to escape from the
imperious Martian Army.
6. The
queen of the elves entered the kingdom on
a unicorn whose footprints left a
path of glitter behind her.
7. We
all woke up only to find our
limbs tied up; I thought I was numb to everything but that’s when the buzzing
started.
8. Kade
gave me a letter written in red ink; it
was too late when I realized it was blood.
9. Buck
entered the saloon looking for a fight- he
was staring right at me with a
toothpick in the corner of his mouth.
10. They
sat on the roof, gazing up at the stars, discussing
their plans on when they would set
the world on fire and dance in the ashes.
11. Flames
danced in his eyes as he glared at me; I
was ready to die at that moment.
12. Casper
was getting bored of reality, so
he drifted into the world of dragons.
13. Doctor
Clark studied the fingerprints left
behind at the scene of the crime.
14. Alyssa
and Samantha got lost in
the woods; the next thing they remembered was walking
down a cobblestoned street in early 1900’s
London as the clock struck twelve.
15. Tommy
was unusual because he kept on
dreaming of flying fish and giant puppies, but
he was my favorite kid to babysit.
16. The
little girl watched in terror as her
father turned into a demon.
17. He
was chasing down the criminal when
all of a sudden, they turned on him.
18. Aris
was in a panic when the alarms sounded
off, telling him to evacuate the
spacecraft, but he was far from Earth.
19. He
woke up swimming in the ocean eyes of
his long-gone lover from Atlantis.

And that's all of them!
Comment your favorite ones because I'm curious on what you guys think.
I tried to write horror, romance, comedy, action, sci-fi, fantasy, surrealism, mystery, historical fiction (? kinda), and.. I think that's it but I could be forgetting one or two.
What do you think? Like, am I weird? Well, the answer is yes. But come on now. Talk to me. Give me your thoughts. That would be nice. :-)
My sentences are long because I'm so damn extra.
Thanks for reading! :D
