That would be quite the pencil.

It would be handy to have one.

It's been way too long since I've been in here.

Strobe engaged. Disco party, fighting style.

Vampires are everywhere. They hate me.

My neck knife: my last hope*.

Chinese Christmas versus American-made Christmas!

The cake is on fire. Bother.

His victims enjoyed his demented presence.

Bean-encrusted... what?

I just randomly thought that.
I will think of some more soon.

Great hemmingways, everyone!

The hand reaches out, grabbing her.

His face twists. Then it disappears.

The soldiers are being attacked - by themselves.

The house is about to explode.

That one is good, though it's seven words. Perhaps you could put it past tense.

Sorry.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Past tense?!

Or, perhaps: My army's under attack - by itself!

Well, I haven't been here in a while, let me see here...

The lone robot began to dance.

"You're going down, pony boy!"

Why am I so good looking?

The hungry beaver was closing in.

Thank you. That will undoubtedly make it onto paper (not in those exact words, per se, but in terms of the event)...

I don't mind spiders - but this...

I have to face it. Now.

A pool - full of gold coins.

That house. I hate that house.

I fell into the sky. Ouch.

Um, let's not go skydiving again.

He knew that smell anywhere: dragons.

If only the skeletons were lame.

The things fantasy writers think of...

Square dancing - could it get worse?

The bullet fell - the job done.

The arrow flew, the victory won.

That one has a lot of possibilities. Do you have any particular idea of the direction you want to take it?

Water trickled just out of reach.

The music reminded him of home.

Where was the voice coming from?

"Did you just hear that, sir?"

The dream slowly grew much darker.

And for some reason I cannot get the italics to work with my iPod.
