It’s time for #FirstLineFriday! On Friday, authors post the first one or first two lines of a potential work, a work-in-progress, or a published work on their blog, and title the post #FirstLineFriday (just like this). It’s a lot of fun, so feel free to join in! You can share your link on my blog comments, or on Rami Ungar’s (the brains behind FLF).
Today’s first line comes from the short story Möngkedai, part of the Thirteen Guests collection.
Möngkedai flipped the magazine page and gritted his teeth. How much longer would it be until they landed? If he didn’t get a cigarette soon he’d hurt someone.
What do you think? What’s your first line for the week?

/ June 24, 2016i like that.
Here’s mine from my new novel. I’ll probably change it as usual. “Eschaton arrived in disguise; its portents plentiful but ambivalent.”
Needs a little punch.

/ July 2, 2016Thanks, but it’s all changed now since the plot has to be re-written. Not that I had to do much since I’d only done one page.

/ June 25, 2016I used to be okay with it, but I was addicted to the action, not the nicotine, so that helped I think :p
