You know, I'm actually glad I missed it. Everyone says the end of the world was, overall, kind of a shit show. THE TRUTH THE DEAD KNOW #SF #M #A #C #OS

The most traumatic morning of my life starts rather beautifully. 🍂💜✨ #1stLinePit #YA #F #Spec #Q

Here’s how it happened—I was alone, again, crunching through the woods in my black gown while the rest of the graduates celebrated with strip mall hibachi and cash-stuffed cards at the Golden Corral. Dad didn’t show, again, so I set off to find him on my own. #H #YA #1stLinePit

“Three women hung from a tree, their lifeless bodies swaying in the early gray morning. No one was there to mourn them.  Save for one.” PHANTOM OF THE OPERA x DRACULA #1stLinePit #Q #YA #HF

#1stLinePit "When Breckan was eight, he’d found something which he could not explain." From Breckan and Co.'s Strange Discoveries #SP #MG #M

Thunder bellows as temple stone shatters underneath the heel of an acolyte. Kei can only watch in horror, their seafoam green eyes wide behind round spectacles. To deface one's own temple is heresy of the highest order. #1stLinePit #RF #A #WIP

Archer Eostrix avoided the bullets with all the accidental grace and dexterity of a bird taking flight. He ducked his head as a window shattered behind him, the sound jarring against the silence of the street. #1stLinePit #C #NA #SF THE OWL & THE PUSSYCAT X THESE BROKEN STARS

Shay’s boots crunched on frozen blades of yellow grass. Trees stood sentinel around her, tall and solemn against a sky streaked bloody by the setting sun. Ghosts walked with her. GHOST PUNCH #1stLinePit #A #H #P #IP

Chance Lucy could handle inner demons. He’d been warding them off ever since abandoning his dying father’s bedside. But real demons? That was where he drew the line. SUPERNATURAL X SIX OF CROWS #1stLinePit #Q #YA #F #P

It’s not every day you wake up with The Moon on your face. #1stLinePit #c #ya #con #f #CMe

She's not a bitch; she's transforming into a werewolf, and menopause is just the cherry on top. #1stLinePit #Q #A #H #T

I’m not the one who died, but somehow I think I’m the one who turned into a ghost, untethered and drifting off to who knows where. #1stLinePit #YA #P #M #OS

✨BIRDWIP FIRST LINE✨ "The ravine bled. Thousands of bodies, mutilated and decomposing, covered the rocky walls in chunks of skin, blood, and bone." #1stLinePit #A #F #WIP

"Despite her lethargy, Isla felt dread, knowing her life, her body, her soul, were about to become the property of the highest bidder." From my WIP - "The Haunting Innocence" #1stLinePit #WIP #A #T

NINTH HOUSE x LIBRARY OF UNWRITTEN Orion Knight knew he was going to die. #1stLinePit #A #F #agented
