“Centuries. Centuries he has been doing this.”

2. He was on the water when it happened.

3. The eyes might have been their own weight for how fully they paralyzed.

4. It isn’t a dream.

5. “Intolerable, unacceptable, and utterly, irrevocably insufferable."

6. They waited for night before bringing out the book.

7. It was in a way almost as extraordinary as stunningly mundane how the mess began.

8. Captain Nemo was a man shocked by very little.

9. Quincey is always described as the laconic one.

10. He meets her under the moon.

Only pattern I'm seeing is 'mmm classic horror lit.' I'm kind of bouncing all over the place as far as opening style, but mostly I seem to sidestep a dialogue opening in favor of omniscient third person. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be number six due to all the uncanny eldritch drama I managed to cram into it.

If you are a writer then consider this game foisted onto you. All of you. Yes, even you. I know you're reading this, chop-chop.
