First lines of a book are meant to capture the reader's attention, give a clue to the story or set the stage for the entire novel.
When we play this game, let's use the first FIVE lines of any chapter.
It can be from you own work (published or WIP) or a favorite book.
Feel free to post first lines from your favorite book in the comments following this post.
