The First Line

I'm still contemplating what I'm going to attempt to write for the National Novel Writing Month. I have a few good ideas, but I'd like a little assistance from the studio audience.

How about a first line? I know we're supposed to write the whole thing ourselves, but hey - I won't tell if you don't ;) Give me some good opening lines in the comments and maybe I'll use one of them!

Don't be too specific with names or places, because I don't want to lock myself into a setting just yet. But give a sentence that might grab a reader of a novel right out of the gate, and sets up the beginning action.

What can you come up with?
