Crazy Long Sentences

(These are some of my entries for the Bulwer-Lytton contest which is a contest for long opening sentences to a novel based upon the writer who penned "It was a dark and stormy night...". These are fun to write and hope you enjoy mine.)


Strangely, the smell of rotting fish hung in the air like filmy cobwebs; strange, not just because this was the desert but because the last known fish, a Koi  in a Pennsylvania Chinese restaurant aquarium that was known affectionately as Little Jimmy; the Koi, that is, died almost 10 years ago to the day, leaving the acrid odor almost a pleasant sign of hope for the world.

SCI-FI: Never, as in not in any instance in his life span since conception, previous lives included, had he been as perplexed as he was at this present time while gazing at the organism facing him that was identical in virtually every way right down to the dandruff nestled on his shoulders to the chronic halitosis.

DETECTIVE: Doggedly, like an arthritic mastiff trudging through the frozen tundra, Paul Bastille groggily climbed over the rocky crag only to find to hideous terror the purplish-pulp of the form of the much-celebrated but now very much deceased Ann Marpleton, socialite without peer and propagandist by hobby.

ROMANCE: Softly and quietly, almost as if she would catch some highly infectious disease that would consume weeks of her time and force her to cancel many prominent social engagements, Penelope caressed her lover Brock's sun-tanned back lovingly, admiring the collage of lash marks incurred from a life of misspent piracy, prompting girlish giggles from her manly buccaneer.
