Openers

 

  1. Rachel jumped out of the bed in horror. It had been already 3 months, yet until now, the incident that happened on that fateful day still haunts her.
  2. John neatens his attire and walked into the hall with confidence.
  3. Jane waited anxiously at the café for the past 2 hours. ‘Mark’s coming right?’ she thought to herself.
  4. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on David as he attempts to score a goal, the goal that determines the winner of the championships.
  5. Michelle screamed loudly when she saw a big cockroach on the floor. She had entomophilies (fear of insects) and she was alone at home.
  6. Jessica was a girl everyone would be envious of. Everyone thought of her as a girl who had everything anyone would yearn for in life. However, Jessica thought otherwise.
  7. It has been 3 years since that incident. However, when Tiffany returns to Peter’s tomb, she is still unable to forget how she killed her boyfriend.
  8. Rebecca sat at the corner of the room crying.
  9. It was a beautiful morning as Stephanie made her way to school. Everything seemed perfect. The clouds were fluffy, the birds were chirping, children were laughing. All these help brought a smile onto Stephanie’s face. Her footsteps quicken upon seeing her desired bus’ arrival. However, at this point of time, she bumped into someone. When she looked up to see that person’s face, her facial expression changed dramatically.
  10. It was Lina’s big day; it was the most important event in any woman’s life. Yes, it is the day of her marriage. But, it was obvious that no joy can be seen from her.
  11. Jolene stepped into the pub, wanting to look for her cousin, Isabel.
  12. Doreen woke up, confused by her surrounding. She did not know where she was. ‘Oh, the hospital. I am not going to spend my holidays here again right?’ she thought.

  1. Your openers either are too broad or tell the story too much. Openers should tell little but show enough to have someone say, “hey, I want to read on”. Having said that, I like Number 7 best – it’s quite intriguing and makes me want to find out why Tiffany killed Peter but is still visiting his grave.
