Cheering you all on!
Reading the sci-fi/fantasy forum reminded me that on top of the first line thread, we should have a last line thread.

I got in trouble in the first line thread, so here's mine:

"Me? I'm Death."

The novel isn't quite done yet (takes a deep breath, exhales), but here's the last line so far:

She meant to kill one or both of them, and he simply stood there, unable to smile for an insane photograph, and utterly helpless to stop her.

Same situation as chaostitan.

Oooh, and I get points for being the fist person to have a last line NOT involving a) death or b) killing one or more people (chaostitan again!)

Ahem.

Gakk! I just realized I don't have it with me. I'm at my aunt and uncle's house in Brooklyn, and I didn't bring my freaking writer's notebook with me!

Oh wait, yes I did. Here it is:

Who knew? Maybe next year she would smoke pot and eat tofu. Maybe she would be named Sunshine or Daydream. Or maybe she would just be known as "Jane."

Which is actually a paragraph, and not a sentence (I know you're all thinking, "That's the LEAST of her worries") but meh. It's in it's first draft stage, and I'm not even there yet. *Grumpy face*

Ask me next year. ;)

This novel has been put on hold so I can finish the one I've been working on since last January. In any case, the last interesting line from the NaNo novel is:

"Treasonous talk," said Lord Gideon.

To be continued....

"Kendra smiled as she clicked send."

And award goes to me for most boring last line ever. It doesn't really have an impact without the paragraph before it, oh well.

Mine is incomplete and I would have shared... but it's TOO blah. Even with a caveat that it will certainly be changed, it can't be posted even with all the nice people here!

With luck, he'd never see them again.

from my first novel, since I'm not done with my current WIP.

The lake exists exactly the same but those who come here change; it is a constant to judge your life by.

Uh, well mine isn't exactly grammatically correct because it is a sentence fragment, but here's the last line of my MG fantasy:

The family she had found and loved all on her own.

You can put away the tissues now. Ha ha! It's a little cheesy, but me likes it!
