First lines meme
Originally seen in nos' lj. Gakked from elsewhere.
Take a line, any line, and write a drabble, scenelet, ficlet. Whatever you feel like. I cheated slightly, since a few of the paragraphs were... cute.
20 of 'em.
1. Daniel Jackson wasn't normally one to do what he was doing.
2. "I see things."
3. He really hadn't meant to do this.
4. The rain was falling into her eyes, but Fry was concentrating on the man in her arms.
5. The world of the casino. Dazzling and brilliant, glittering with a thousand smiles and ten thousand tears. The clink of chips, the snap of cards, the occassional softly-voiced argument. All blended to create a world where anything could happen. And frequently did.
6. There's a smile on her face before she even opens the door. It's plastered there, stretching the flesh taught. Meant to reassure.
7. It was the most shattering experience Adam Warlock had ever had.
8. There's so much she wants to say.
9. 'Coffee Shoppe' read the sign. It was hung over a small glass-fronted shop window, which contained... a coffee shop. It sat in the middle of the block, like a quietly subversive second-cousin who wants to inherit but can't, because you're still alive.
10. She can remember falling.

12. It was the waiting that got to her.
13. Fire was destroying the room nearby, the flames licking hungrily at the furniture and baby clothes.
14. Blake would have been appalled.
15. The knife slid into her belly and she gasped.
16. "Did they teach you to lie like this?"
17. She moved restlessly around the apartment, the moonlight only registering if she stepped into it.
18. "You can't win you know."
19. It was an unassuming house in a normal neighborhood.
20. He'd been drinking steadily for hours.
