Well, here is my pillaging of an opening sentence for my own story. The story may seem stupid and probably reads like a Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo episode (see http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3085 and http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=N06&resnum=0&q=bobobobobo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=N06&resnum=0&q=bobobobobo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv&view=3&qvid=bobobobobo&vid=1609967097452799185), but I actually am working towards something from here.
She rolled her eyes and screwed up her mouth and stuck her leathery thin face into his smooth bland one.—Flannery O’Connor
And this was unfortunate for young Gilbin, for it was the last thing the eight year old was to see before his eyes were gorged out by some bored guards. The name of the woman who pressed her face against the man's was Beth. And, Beth did this thing to gain magical power from the bland man when she stuck her face to his. She used her magic to escape the prison and move to a small house.
The house was on the inside of a river except for when it was not. And when it was in the river she was sad. Still, everyday she went to work at the cart store. She assembled carts there so others could buy for their grocery shopping. She also dabbled in cleaning product shopping carts and cloth shopping carts, but grocery carts where her favorite. Her job made her very glad. And, she would never want to stop working at this job.
One day the boy named Gilbin was studying pottery as he had been for the past thirty-seven and three quarters years since he lost his sight. That day he decided to rearrange his knowledge and skill in pottery into the ability to build rockets. And, when his rocket was complete he escaped the prison.
In the old cart store Beth was slaying a rat that had started to lick the cart wheels. Right before the rat died he turned into the bland man from whom Beth had taken the magic.
"That was a nice kiss," said the man, "I hope the magic helps you escape this prison. Are they going to take that boy's eyes?" The man died.
The woman named Beth was sad. It maid her feel wicked that she was wearing a pink dress on Lord Tothman's holy day. Lord Tothman was her favorite Deity and she watched his game show.
Beth did not know that Lord Tothman was Gilbin from twelve thousand years in the future. Gilbin became Lord Tothman about twelve weeks after the eighth year of his eighty second anniversary of kissing Beth's daughter.
"But kisses are nice" said Beth's daughter, wife of Tothman. And so she created them. She also created trees. Trees where her favorite creation. Her second favorite creation was her daughter Neltieriety who first thought of Beth.
When Beth died at the age of twenty-seven weeks she had finished eating her fifty second alligator in her life. She hated alligators because they were the symbol of Totha Queen of love.
Tothman means son of Totha.
And now the real challenge is going to be to create some background that will make this meaningful and symbolic instead of senseless and inane.
