Last month's assignment

God I really suck at this! We had to pick a good line from one of our favourite books. DeAnn got mine - Jasper Fforde of course - and I got the first line of The Corrections, from her I think. Our brief was to write a 500 to 1000 word story using that first line. Mine's done but I'm not happy with it and it will be interesting to see what the others thought of it. Not expecting good feedback on this.
