I made a forum with this promotion concept before here,25 but with the broad category of excerpts instead of specifically one line sentences. To review:

One of the best ways to promote a series is to show an excerpt of your writing to get a reader interested and show your writing style. A lot of times we use sections that don't need any context behind it, or we make sure to explain it somewhere along with it. This forum isn't for those types of promotions.

I want to see the weirdest single sentences from your stories without the background info, or any explanations. Just a single sentence that can be taken WAY out of context that will make the reader confused and wonder "In what instance would you write that?"

The weirder the better, and make sure to add a link to your story. Also feel free to post multiple funny one liners.

"Aww no, don't tell me you trade cattle around"

'They say her internal organs were perfectly intact despite them having to stitch up an entry and exit wound.'

"No way!" Yelled Rylee, sticking her tongue out. "You guys stink! At least Luke brought deodorant!"

Roenan blinked away. “Yeah. But you hear stories where serial killers’ kids grew up with decent childhoods while the truth was in the dark. It doesn’t justify what their parents did.”

I heard souls full of heart-break and despair that once were filled with light and joy taste the best.

“Nope, They were easy to deal with. Though in the process of searching I found some cool clothes, we can clean the blood stains off them like usual. This place has fancy wears for a town at the outskirts of Zaru.”

Her snake was an idiot that loved to eat his own butt; any attempt to stop said eating was met with swift knocks of his nose against the offending fingers and a general feeling of haughty displeasure, usually at her expense.

Had a hard time deciding, so here's the first two:

Better to have the chance for a proper kiss than getting in trouble by licking her… again.


“It looks like it was dyed with blood.”

“You don’t just give a guy a pile of clothes, tell him to change, and then not explain anything.”

(Also from Black Robin) I couldn't decide if I liked that one more or;

His only choices are wear the dress or go upstairs naked, so of course he starts going through the pile to figure out what order he needs to put on everything.

...for the record, these two scenes are over ten chapters apart

"I never thought I would say this guys but... Florence Nightingale and I got a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! H*ll yeah. Show me the money... I mean fried chicken!"

But if we are separate species… If we have no relation to animals at all… Then I would have to treat killing the way a human would and not an animal.

I have quite a few :sweat_smile:... some notable gems include the following:

"How many dicks does a turkey have!?"

"I get to see death!"

"Stop talking to it like a confused stoner!"

“StOp YeLlInG, oMeN… dOn’T kIlL tHe TrEsPaSsEr, OmEn… PuT sOmE cLoThEs On, OmEn!”

Dewi hands him the bottle as Blake hears the one word that lowers the temperature in the room by ten degrees; 'yes'.

I just love my boys in RomaMates, with their mood swings and the like.
