The best second line for any novel would be "and then the murders began," that's a fact. Picture it- all your favorite books with their first lines. Now take those lines and add "And then the murders began" as the second. I always loved doing that- I don't quite so much anymore. It doesn't make such a great second line for life, not after my life followed that same path- everything was great: hot boyfriend, tons of other friends...Yeah, it was great. Then, of course, somebody had to decide that they wanted to test the range of their brand new AK, right in the middle of an assembly. Yeah, not good. Now I'm stuck down here, hiding in Mrs. McGinnis's room, hoping they don't find me (again), and that I don't bleed out before the cops get here. Yeah, it's not good. If I don't bleed out, I'll probably be scarred for life. If I don't, which right now, I think is rather unlikely, then here's hoping my friends and schoolmates will tell the world about what happened here last March Fifteenth. No, scratch that, I will be scarred for life, both literally and figuratively. I hope the world remembers me.... Sanguinely Yours, Electra J.
