The opening lines of the sequel to A Chip In His Shoulder, which is called Something New Under the Sun:
Less than twenty-four hours had passed since I’d been killing time and waiting to die in a glass-encased penthouse high above the glittering Sky. Surviving? That was unexpected. Waking up naked in a cramped Gutter apartment next to the ex-lover my father had paid to kill me? Yeah. That came out of the fucking blue.
Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!
1. pick a project – a current WIP, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published
2. pick six sentences

A great opening six! Definitely makes me want to read more. :)
