Ok, serious question - Does anyone favour the declarative approach to an opening sentence in a contemporary thriller, to wit:
" I was drunk ! They came through the window, I shot them immediately, and then my wife walked in. It was no problem. "
or, the alternative
" I think I might have been drunk - I don't like to get drunk, but I wasn't sure if I had been or not... couldn't really make sense of the shapes in the curtains, had to grab around blindly for the piece on the floor, blew Brad's brains out before he opened his mouth, sprayed the ceiling with Keith's head, pushed the bodies out onto the fire escape and then hoped for a couple of heartbeats that she wouldn't notice, as my wife walked in. Only time would tell if I'd have to silence the voices. " ? |
