Here's the first five of my YA, which is dystopian by some standards, but I'm reluctant to label it as such:
Life is so much easier without underwear. That was something I had clung to, but Sal was right when he told me underwear was useless. Sal taught me a lot of things. Like how to pee while holding a bow with an arrow nocked and drawn. In the Wild you have to know how to do that.

This is a great first line! I'm having a bit of trouble imagining the reality of someone peeing while holding a bow with an arrow drawn. It would help to know if Sal as well as the MC is male or female; it seems more feasible if male. At any rate, it seems a good intro to a pseudo-dystopian.
ReplyDeleteGreat first line :) The second line starts with "That" and I'm not sure what the "That" is referring to. The underwear? Really, that was the only thing that threw me. Great job!
