| Also known as the: The Annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest The goal is to write the worst possible opening sentence possible to a book. Some examples are: - Quote :
- Her kiss grasped his lips like an aroused sea barnacle; her breath smelled like wet feet mated with ham-marinated, salty, delicious; and the sea wailed around them like lovers in a trailer park.
Perry had come a long way in the nine years since being arrested by a park ranger in his '81 Firebird tenderly holding a spiral-cut, honey-glazed ham (with the bone removed).
The skydiver jumped out of the plane and felt his skin being pulled back like that of a dog sticking its head out of a car going 110 on the highway, owned by a driver rushing to be on time for work or else he would get fired by his boss with the curly mustache who owned a large speedboat.
I did this in class and since it was still 7 in the morning all I came up with was: The creature emerged from the swamp, sort of like a drunk college girl suffering from numerous zombie bites. --- You guys can make as many as you want.
