"The Second Book of Memorable First Sentences From Books That Don't Exist"

[Dr. Drib]

"She came into my office..."

I think we had an entire chapter on this kind of opening, one that I've always liked. Here's a new one:


She came into my office with a Kindle Paperwhite 3g Second Edition in one hand and a Kobo Aura HD in the other hand, while held precariously between the two toes of her left foot a lone Nook Simple Touch With Glowlight resided, looking like an artifact your grandmother might own, all the while that the large big toe of her right foot tapped wantonly on the new Sony PRS T3 in a failed effort to find a non-existent light source, the momentary look of confusion on her face failing to cover her nakedness as she sat down across from my desk and said in a husky voice, “Are you Buster Preston, the private dick?”

On a hot winter day in the middle of the Siberian tundra a man could be seen carrying a load of weinersnitzel from village to village in search of a buyer.

OK:

They tore the infernal tower down brick by brick, because it was a travesty as a phallic symbol, a failed edifice bent over double like a man with the squats as he heaves his guts out.

Here we go:


She was as lovely as a morning kissed by dew, her face effervescent and fresh like a newly-washed baby’s butt.

Or this one:

She was as lovely as a morning kissed by dew, her eyes like sparkling wine as he looked into them, which compelled him to say those little endearments that meant so much to both of them as he nuzzled her ear with his fleshy man-lips and said, “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?” which caused her to swoon with rapturous joy.

She came into my office stacked like a stack of pancakes, only not at all wobbly, and without a hint of maple syrup.
