First Lines of my stories

Stole this really interesting writing challenge from HeadToToesLove. She proposed taking the first lines of stories you have written and posting them. I found it a fascinating exercise and so here goes!

This is a fascinating exercise in looking at the hook sentences in relation to each other. I remember a great many of these and it's nice walking down memory lane, sparking thoughts as I go, but it's also so interesting to see just how varied everything is. I'm curious when you're going to do the other half. haha ^_^

Me thinks I'll be snagging this too. I'm certainly curious to take a look at my hook sentences in relation to all the others as well. lol

Awww, look at all of your memories! Kinda makes you nostalgic, huh?
Now for the ultimate challenge: Combine them all to make a story! (Or not, if you're anything like me you might need all your creative brainpower to write a chapter XD)
