It was a beautiful morning. The birds were singing, the sun was shining and the day was, to be honest, hoping like hell that nobody would notice just how horribly clichéd it all was. Being a day’s far harder now those hairless apes have gained sapience and started using fancy phrases like “literary device” and “gross overuse of formulaic opening”.
Luckily, everyone was a little too busy to notice, what with the apocalypse and all.

Yeah, another opening that will never get a story. I don't even know what the apocalypse is. I like to think it stands by itself, though.
did you intend for it to sound a tad like Mr D Adams work? good job though if you did. and if you didn't then there isnt really a higher compliment
ReplyDelete...wow. That is indeed the highest complement you could give me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I didn't consciously intend for it to sound like that, I just wrote something I thought was funny. Though I may have wrote it fairly soon after re-reading the HHGTTG....
