All stories are PG-13 unless otherwise noted.  Does not include the first line from my re-mix, which remains anonymous and is actually pretty lame out of context.  Most of the ones at the end come from a fit of drabbling in my Tempus Frangit series.

2 - Sam knows from previous experience - the Impala crash, his death at Cold Oak, Dean's death - that in moments like this, time seems to slow down as his brain tries to record every gut-wrenching detail. Quick as a Wink, Gen, Supernatural

3 - An intercom buzzed on with a sequence of two notes that were at just the interval that made Dawn feel queasy. Together Again For the First Time (first line of the first chapter written by me), Gen, BtVS/Doctor Who, cowritten with [livejournal.com profile] booster17

You've got some pretty good first lines, too!

I tend to get a little wordy, when I'm not trying to open Dramatically. =)

I seem to suffer from indefinite pronoun use. I guess I'm trying for in media res? Or maybe I'm just lazy. I still think your set wins.
