I'm a filthy rich publisher from XYZ Pulblishing, and I've got cash to burn. Our latest book is about to go to printing, but we lost the second sentence in the manuscript. We can't find the author, and, well, you get the picture.


I'll pay you a million dollars for a great follow-on sentence. I only need one sentence, so make it good.


"Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night."

Er, a little over the top in the 'sell' there, but it could be a good prompt.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night--unfortunately his wife did, too, and that was going to make his plan a little more difficult to carry out. Nevertheless...

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. His deformed face was less likely to alarm his prey - or the animals.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. He'd never told his mother, but ever since he stuck his hand in the toaster at the age of two, he could see better at night.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. It was his most powerful ally in disguising his not being able to hit a bull from five feet away.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. Unfortunately, his surgically implanted night-vision goggles ran out of power, and he was nowhere near a battery store.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. He imagined the mice he caught were his owner, paying for the ridiculously anthropomorphic name she had given him.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. With a chainsaw. That's when they always came out, and he always made sure he had plenty of gas for the long night ahead.

Ever since that fateful summer day when a grizzly bear eating out of a garbage can behind Beaugeaus Pizza spotted him, his milk-white freckled face, and tangerine-colored hair, unsuccessfully hiding behind his jeep, with pistol aimed between its right eye and the horsefly buzzing over his missing left, Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night.

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. He looked for red lipstick and eyes that cried boredom, and he went in for the kill.

Oh, nice one, passionpen!

Let's see, now...

Ryan McGovern liked to hunt at night. He knew that bears were nocturnal, but it was one of those little facts that one hears and then tucks away into the back of one's mind along with all the others that don't have any bearing (ha!) on everyday life; however, as the giant grizzly rose up in front of him, jaws agape and growling, he marveled at how much importance that little fact suddenly had.
