Hiiii, alright, so here are all my FE lines. Please do one for me.
1. It was a flash of white light, brilliant and blinding as the neon signs screaming from the other side of the grime and rain spattered window.
2. He glanced down at the box of clementines, abandoned like kittens on the side of the road.
3. I guess I just always thought of her as stronger than that.
4. She wanted to follow them, so she set her half finished popsicle on the porch railing, licked the syrup off her fingers, and did.
5. Skyscrapers became invisible in the foggy cloud of dust as it fell slowly to the ground.
6. But his hand, pale and transparent, slipped right though the brown stem.
7. There was only a sound, a flicker of noise like a piece of paper being pulled from a stack.
8. No one even noticed until the next morning.
9. At any rate, I don’t own any leather bras, so I wouldn’t do so well.
10. His feet were impatient; they tapped their toes against the stone step to show their distaste for this lack of motion.
11. You can’t get out of that trap of confusing moral principles, pressed and twisted into your skin until they puncture, draw blood.
12. The windshield shattered.
13. Our days are ruled by clocks.
14. And on the windowsill there’s a blank card.
15. When she opened her eyes, the room was empty.
16. Yet here it was again, not on the desk but in the charred remnants of a backpack, caught on the pointy edges of a skeleton’s shoulder and elbow.
17. That empty school reminded her of a fountain in winter.
18. His hands were raw from washing dishes and scrubbing them clean, blood trickling form tiny cracks in his palms.
19. Slumped against a tree in the overgrown forest, snow began to collect on the top of her head.
20. Find something fairly fragile and break it (crush it in your hand, throw it at a wall, whatever) and write to that.
21. Do a quick dance in front of strangers. Write from their perspective.
22. Take a nap. As you’re falling asleep, think really hard about what time you’d like to wake up. Tell me how that works out for you.
23. Write for five minutes as soon as you wake up. Right away. And don’t just describe/explain your dream. Or anything about waking up or sleeping, if you can help it.
24. You’re out on a golf course at dusk. Right out in the middle of it. Suddenly, a T-Rex appears from behind the trees, roars, and takes chase. React! (But end up getting eaten. Sorry, it’s a T-Rex, you have no chance. And that freezing stuff doesn’t work, by the way, read Lost World sometime if you don’t believe me.)
25. You’re in a bright, new, mostly empty outdoor mall. The streets are very wide and there are Orwellian-style signs everywhere restricting conduct (no cursing, running, etc.). If you’ve ever been to Northfield Stapleton (right around Quebec and 270), it’s there. However, it’s in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Ready, go.
26. We mostly used weeds.
27. Go outside. Observe the weather. Write about the polar opposite of it.
28. College applications were becoming near-lethal.
29. Well... I suppose “giant” is a relative term.
30. You left.
31. “I can’t, man. would eat me alive. Seriously.”
32. He’d always refused to eat Brazil nuts.
33. She leaned against the train window and fanned herself with the skinny pamphlet.
34. It was cold in the same way clouds are cheery.
35. She itched all over.
36. There were handbooks written about this sort of thing. Unfortunately, he’d never read them.
37. Her arms were full of various teacups.
38. The men in the doorway reeked of metal and formaldehyde.
39. She had to hold the knife with her teeth to cut the cord.
40. The newspaper headlines explained everything.
41. It was the sort of thing you always talked about, but never actually did.
42. It wasn’t a long month.
43. The streets glittered with dropped coins.
44. A couple hundred years ago, things had been pretty much the same.
45. He’d perfected the art of faking sick.
46. There aren’t many still around.
47. The cranes were worthless.
48. There were times when all she could do to break the language barrier was kick it down.
49. His love of seals turned to obsession when he started a campaign against orca whales.
50. And just when it was most inconvenient, he started hiccupping.
51. The waterways twirled and twisted deeper and deeper underground.
52. There was nothing she hated more.
I would really rather not have to force an FE on my class, so... please?
You can send them to me any way you feel like it. You could put it as comment, I have no real preference, so go for it.
WOAH
Nervous
Irritated
Wow!
