If you were to begin writing a horror story how would your first sentence or two start out?

Eg.. I heard those kinds of awful fearsome sounds that I never in my life would I ever want to hear again....

    Is it technically correct to use the singular, however? "It wasn't two clauses"? This post was edited by Danilo_G at December 10, 2021 9:45 PM MST

    Two clauses is plural, not singular.

    Gotcha. I went with singular because it was one sentence.

    Grammar policing - it is truly not a job upon which to frown!

    Have to say I liked it. Was exaggerated but is true in teenage horror movies in the choices they make.

    It was a bright and sunny night.  The sun had just risen in the north.  Something went wrong, very wrong.

    If she could have seen where she would be in 35 years after taking that first drink she would not have done it.  Now 35 years later she doesn't even know where she is or where she started from.
