While rooting through some old papers, I came across a battered notebook listing some first lines of stories or novels I’ve never written. I thought I’d ask you which one, if any, sounds the most promising, and if I should continue it. I no longer trust my own judgment. I need help.
- Pennies, which plague me today, once played a big part in my life.
- This morning I took my dog and my mother-in-law to have their toenails cut, which pretty much sums up my life these days.
- “Don’t touch me!”
- The face in the glass bore no resemblance to the person I know, and whose skin I have worn for almost eighty years.
- Every station stop on this train ride brought back memories; mostly unpleasant.
