Cause first lines are important.

First lines for two short stories I'm hopefully going to be working on:

Nobody told Alan about the terror birds.

Sophie came into the den and said the one sentence I've learned to dread, "Honey, have you seen the baby?"

I LOLed IRL on the second one, haha.

The first one is intriguing, and the second one is FUNNY.

"Have you seen the baby?"

Hmm, wondering why people are considering it "funny." I have a different relationship with that sentence I guess. O_o

I think it's the whole, "Not again" aspect from the second line. It's not that the baby is missing, but the fact that this happens often enough that it's turned rather blah and annoying.

The first one is turning out to be fun.

Oh, don't worry, I get that, but still . . . ;_;
