It was, it had to be said, the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard about.

Now compiling the book from our contributors.
ARTISTIC CONTRIBUTION Needed: Artwork, graphics for the ebook, Memorable First Sentences To Books That Don't Exist. Tell me what passage your artwork accompanies. WRITTEN CONTRIBUTION If you did not follow the rules, then your contribution will NOT be included in this anthology. The Rules were stated at the beginning: One sentence only and of your creation. Anything else will be discarded and not included. NOTE: By and large, the thread has probably run its course, hence the reason for now assembling the anthology. I haven't announced a cut-off date, but at some point I must say, "Enough" - if only to finish the assembly of the book. At this moment, I'm busy putting every "acceptable" contribution [those who followed the rules] into BookDesigner. If you have jewels of despicable, memorable prose, then by all means contribute now. ATTRIBUTION Only avatars are being used for attribution purposes for all written and artistic contributions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don |

She had the kind of face you see on an embalming table where the bullet hole is barely visible, unless you bend down real close and kind of squint your eyes up tight, like you’re looking down a rifle-barrel when you’re robbing someone and accidentally pull the trigger and the person falls over, upsetting a display of carbonated drinks that then scatter all over the floor, and the people are all screaming and blood is thick everywhere on the floor as more commotion leads to more chaos, with a kind of domino effect that continues on out into the street as people run around the parking lot like chickens with their heads cut off, clucking and screaming insane things, really bad things, their faces agitated and their eyes on fire with fright, like the corpse that you’re looking at right now on the embalming table, the one you killed, as if the eyes can still remember what the mind no longer comprehends – that kind of face, you know what I mean?

Tigers exist in Africa and can be quite deadly in their habitat: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4548494.stm
