Last week’s challenge: Conclude The Tale!
This week’s challenge is deceptively simple.
I want you to write one amazing sentence. A sentence that is part of a larger story but is not itself a story — a sentence that makes you want to read forward and backward, but is itself a capture of the tale. Just a slice.
(And then, next week, folks will choose a sentence to build an entire story around.)
Write one sentence — no more than 100 words, please.
Drop it in the comments below.
And that’s all you need to do.
But make that sentence as amazing as you can make it.
Go.

It was yet another example of the universe out to crush what was left of his soul.

I took your sentence and used it. It’s still a little rough though.

That was really unique, Dave. I hope you work on it, should fine tune nicely.

She couldn’t be sure that the fish was a condescending dickhead, but she was starting to suspect as much.
