Second contest!

Yay! New contest is to come up with the scariest/creepiest villain phrase/phrase-like thing, and the deadline is next Saturday. Entries should be original, e-mail them to me, send as many as you like.

*sigh* Here's another thing that has to be further explained because NaNoWriMo stole my brain... so a villain phrase, for example, would be "You'll never stop me!" or, "Mwahahaha." or other things they say to unnerve their foes. (I can't think of anything interesting anymore. I just can't.)

Winners from last week's contest:

BEST OPENING LINE WINNER
  • It was a murderous day, the day I was killed. (Ethan)

HONORABLE MENTIONS
  • A curse smothered the whole town. Or was it a curse? But since the boy was a rabbit, and the hog a deer, and the queen a beggar, it was very hard to tell, and only the small girl could figure it out, although she didn’t know that yet. (Juicy)
  • A shot rang out in the gun factory; nobody looked up. (Ethan)
  • Her face was like that of a beautiful woman, because that's what it was. (Ethan)
  • Everyone said that Roger acted like a pig. Even his classmates said he must be the ancestor of a pig, that is, if evolution really happened, but nobody had ever guessed that Roger really was a pig - in disguise. (Juicy)
  • In the land where hopefully someday something will go right a greatly scientific thing happened. (Nick)
WORST OPENING LINE WINNER
  • Gregory watched the paint on the wall. He watched it slowly dry. (Squishy)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
  • This is the true story of my incredibly boring life. (Squishy)
  • The kitten lived in a little house with a young girl. The kitten got cream and fish every day and was very contented. (Juicy)
  • "Well," she said, wiping the remains of her brother's armadillo pie off her face, "next time we decide to bike to Peru, you had better remember to leave your shoes at home." (Rachel D)
  • It was a dark and pleasant night…. (Squishy)
  • Once upon a time, as onces are wont to do, there was, as one might say, a person who was not very intelligent, only he wasn't very intelligent in the way that he was an impoverished orphan who had no time to study, or that the government had done terrible experiments on his brain, it was simply that he didn't want to know anything, because of a terrible mix-up when he was a baby that made him think that knowing things brought instantaneous hideousness that would render him an unlovable person by all not possessing a soul, and as the girl he wanted to marry was in fact a statue and it was fairly certain that she had no soul, this boy decided to refrain from learning things ever, and that is how he died, because he never learned to live. (Maggie)
