If you think you can write the opening sentence to the world's worst novel, here's a challenge for you:
The competition is inspired by the immortal prose of Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton whose novel Paul Clifford begins with the classic cliche: "It was a dark and stormy night..."
Here are some examples of previous entries:
Historical fiction:
Samson looked in the mirror and, when he saw what a fantastic haircut Delilah had given him, he went weak at the knees."
Dishonourable mention:
"Miles Otterman thought he could get away with carving his initials on the old oak tree in the town square - and he just might have, if Sheriff Mitchell hadn't recognised his MO".
