Another PK meme

Grab a sci-fi book from your shelves, turn to page 123 and blog the fifth (whole) sentence. Repeat for fiction of a different genre.

"Someone had scrawled three interlocking Harlequin diamonds near the entrance to theater two, so she walked inside and found a drunk sleeping in the third row"
- "The Traveller" (2005) by John Twelve Hawks

"Bryan Cady's feet, of course, were bare; but otherwise he was dressed up like a fashion-conscious mortician"
- "Flesh & Blood" (1994) by Graham Masterton

What has this exercise taught us? That it's now the turn of BS, CM, SC, RS and DQ to consult their libraries for out-of-context info! :-)
