Want to write a dystopian novel but don't know where to start? Here are some opening lines to inspire you:
1. Funny how everyone says that was the day the world ended, when it was the beginning of mine.
2. Sometimes I forget the Wall did not always surround the town.
3. Decapitating a zombie is a lot harder than it looks on tv.
4. When I was six, I used to have nightmares that my house burned down, and I cried and cried because all my toys were lost forever. But now that it has - along with half the city - I feel relieved somehow.
5. There were twelve of us in the beginning.
6. If there's one thing I want to do before I die, it's to tell her I'm sorry.
7. I passed the test. My twin didn't. And now I'll never see him again.
8. There had to be others who were immune like me.
