Sci-Fi/Fantasy has been partying in awesome for months. How come y'all don't have one of these first line games? Horror is like the crossroads between SF and Thriller.
The game: Write only one line, and make it a compelling line that moves the reader forward. No run-ons.
Make it IMMEDIATELY and OBVIOUSLY horror.
The example we use in SF/F is the first line of Kafka's Metamorphosis. "Grigor Samsa woke up to discover he had turned into a cockroach."
For Horror? Hm. I don't know any offhand.
Also, no chitchat. You wants to speak, you also gots to have your entry. Not even mods are allowed off the hook for that little rule.
My entry:
"The first time I did it, her blood tasted like sweet cherry pudding."
