May Firsts

Here are just a few of the 'first' lines that caught my attention this past month:

When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of night he'd reach out to touch the child sleeping beside him.

Phoebe and her friends held their breath as the dead girl in the plaid skirt walked past their table in the lunchroom.

I can tell you from experience that a jail cell is not a place you'd like to visit.
