Yet Another Dark and Stormy Night...

Yep, it's that time of year again. The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction contest has announced its winners for 2011. This contest, as you might recall, invites people to submit the worst possible opening line for a novel they can possibly construct. The winner this year is Sun Fodrie from Oshkosh with an unusually short entry, resulting in the highest badness/word ration in contest history.

'Cheryl’s mind turned like the vanes of a wind-powered turbine, chopping her sparrow-like thoughts into bloody pieces that fell onto a growing pile of forgotten memories."

Be sure to peruse the rest of the entries!
