The exercise:
Write the first paragraph of your next great novel, short story, article, whatever you like. It might be the start of your next finished work, or it could be nothing at all.
Mine:
Ryan Johnson began the last day of his old life the same way he had begun every day for the last ten years - by wishing his next breath would be his last. Ryan didn't care about the hows or whys, he just knew dying would be better than having to go to work again. Sadly, though this day would be unlike any other, it began like all the rest: air filled his lungs, air left his lungs, one long, overly dramatic groan and out of bed he crawled.

Excellent beginning to a novel! Will it continue?
