First Lines

This is a meme that's been doing the rounds. First lines from published works and WIPs.

Published books
Scatterheart
The turnkey pushed Hannah into the cell, and clanged the door shut behind her.

Joan of Arc
Today they burn the witch.

The (Not Quite) Perfect Boyfriend
Sometimes I wish I could just grow down and go back to primary school.

Forthcoming books
Pink
'You're leaving?' Chloe dropped my hand.

Angel Fish
A boy has come to Machery. I think he might be an angel.

Work in progress
(as yet untitled)
On entering the Melbourne Natural History Museum's department of Preparation on the morning of January 18, at approximately 9:25, Beatrice May Ross noticed six unusual things, all of which turned out to be of utmost significance.
