An Attempt At Creative Writing - All The Rage
The Night was dark and stormy. A cold front accompanied with a low pressure system was moving through the vicinity, bringing with it unsettled weather conditions. The toilet light was dim. He was a Frugal Bastard and freaked out at having anything greater than a 25 watt lamp installed as it was a waste of electricity and an unnecessary expense. All around the house was quiet. He was a miserable old codger who couldn't stand the thought of having fun and preferred life as a recluse. Not even a mouse was stirring. The old coot disliked vermin intensely and would use any means possible to eradicate them.
i remember having read somewhere that "The night was dark and stormy" was voted the very worst opening line ever ( in another of those polls conducted by jobless people ).
