First Line Friday

Shawshank, December 4, 2020December 4, 2020

Woohoo, we made it to Friday! So here’s the game that we’re playing; I give you the first couple lines of a random book on my shelf, you guess in the comments, and next week, I’ll give you the answer!

Last weeks book was Clan of the Cave Bear. Did you figure it out?

That sounds like fun, amirite?

Ok, ready? Let’s go!

For a long time the horizon had been a monotonous flat blue line separating the Pacific Ocean from the sky. The Navy helicopter raced forward, flying low, near the waves. Despite the nous and thumping vibration of the blades, Norman Johnson fell asleep.

Think you have the answer? Comment below!

Until next week…
