By Topic #73:
Grab the nearest book (or website) to you right now. Jump to paragraph 3, second Sentence. Write it in a post.
Bonus: Make up a sentence to follow the first one, but make it go in an entirely different direction that the actual book or website does.

The Daily Post 
“Then it became interesting and beautiful.”
My sentance: “As the skin gaped open, the underlying fat layer shone like mother-of-pearl.”
First sentance from the introduction: Land of Flowers by Jeff Klinkenberg.
I wanted it to be a more interesting sentance, and I hesitated, but I had to stay honest. I wonder how many people rejected the closest book or the applicable sentance.

I grabbed Haruki Murakami’s “Kafka on the Beach”. The third paragraph only has one sentence, which could be translated as something like “How much?”
That would be a short post. 🙂 I wrote about a webpage of my own instead. It’s about a moving letter that a vicar’s wife wrote in 1902 to the woman who would be the vicar’s wife in the the same parish in 2002. The instructions were to leave the letter unopened for 100 years. True story.

I think perhaps I got lucky looking at what you guys picked. I opened John LeCarre’s A most wanted man and got “tell him it was all my fault” . SO I’ve written about a time when I had to put my hand up for something awful.
Hope you enjoy reading about it.

Excellent topic… I enjoyed this one because the randomness of the sentence selected was part of the fun. 🙂
I just wrote a post on it as per the pingback above. 🙂

Scripture teaches that night-and-day prayer is crucial for the fullness of God’s power and purpose to be released (Lk. 18:7–8; Isa. 62:6–7).
So random =]
