Adrian Hester, commenting on this post, drew my attention to this annual event, "which calls for writing a bad first sentence from an imaginary novel".

This one cracked me up:

As the fading light of a dying day filtered through the window blinds, Roger stood over his victim with a smoking .45, surprised at the serenity that filled him after pumping six slugs into the bloodless tyrant that mocked him day after day, and then he shuffled out of the office with one last look back at the shattered computer terminal lying there like a silicon armadillo left to rot on the information superhighway.
