After living a hundred and forty two years in the body of a seventeen year old with a two hundred and eighty four year old in the body of a seventeen year old, Pen longed for more.

When the Sindrykans came, everyone knew.

I honestly couldn't think of how to start, lol.

Not as good as the one I used last year, but then last year's was a dare...

In the early morning hours, a new life was being brought to the planet. In the town of Zeinta, Scado and Lethero were being born by their mother, Nicarga.

Not exactly one sentence, but that's basically how my prologue begins.

History began to change as the fifteen scrambled-looking people filed into the train depot, holding scarfs to their necks as a lazy wind rolled by.

I rambled about quotes in my El Jay, so I'll spare you:

William was eating lunch when he died.

I love NaNo. XD When else would this be acceptable...? Never, that's when.

EDIT: For D-

Dear Diary.

Boring, I know, so here's the next bit.

I got my science test back today.

Smaur, Suzanne--- wow. Just...wow.

The sidewalk is splattered with a cat’s body, still fresh days after the accident.

It is basically nothing about the story, just an entrance to the setting.

The first sentence of real story is “It’s a wonder how cats move from life to life so fast,” Neta told her grandson.

Sam, I love yours! XD So randomly funny! (although I'm sure it's not so random once you get into the story... *shuts up*)

I'm not taking part this year myself, but I'm content to watch from a distance, and provide moral support to those who need it!

I feel like a loser...

The sun rose over the hills of Sparkston, a small town in the Midwest.

Mine's not all that spectacular.

On a hill beside a shimmering lake, there stands a manor.

I like yours, WD. It sort of lulls me into wanting to listen, with just a few words.

Sambo... you are, of course, my hero. XD
