So… @wildehacked tagged me in this meme, add the first line of a WIP and tag as many people as there are words, and honestly I feel personally called out by this particular writing meme

Because, much like Wilde, I discovered that I write long-ass first sentences.  I found one that was a flat 50 words.  Most easily topped 30, with a handful in the mid 20′s.  This is the shortest opening sentence I found and it’s 16 and I’m sorry but I am definitely going to run out of people to tag before I hit 16, so please consider this an open invitation.

From what Tobias could tell, it got to be a habit after a while, looking up

To the shock of everyone, I am sure, it’s an Animorphs fic.

Right, okay, I’m so sorry, I don’t even know if all of you WRITE fic: @littlestartopaz, @slyrider, @chromatographic, @aethersea, @skymurdock, @sroloc–elbisivni, @flvffs, @c-foley, and…fuck, y’all, that’s eight, if you want to do the thing and feel mildly judged by a meme about opening sentences, go for it.
