Fiction Writing: What’s for dinner?

Notes: A flash writing activity held on 3rd of June 2023 via Zoom by Sharon Bakar with Julian & Karina. We are writing from first sentence of popular books, and I selected this one: Dodie Smith: “I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. That …” (goodreads.com). Here are more famous first lines from books. I wrote this in my head while driving and dictating it to my nephew who was trying to write it down in a moving car. He had a headache and wasn’t able to continue, plus I couldn’t read his handwriting. So, I rewrote it somewhat quite differently from the original intention, and hope you’ll enjoy this flash fiction piece.
