An interesting set of opening lines. I think this would be the beginning of a good book. I like the sequence of events you allude to. It would be fun to read. - Thesis

Comment from Krugerrand
Poor Georgina. Just from these opening lines I can tell she's had a rough time of it lately. I hope it turns out for her.
A good collection of lines that would keep a reader interested and wanting to know, what happened next.
Good job! Best of luck!

Comment from axelbeariter
I'm not really sure, because I don't know the story; only suspect it. But having said that, from my perspectice, chapter 3 seems as it should precede chapter 2. I believe I understand the rest of your tale, but those two chapters confuse me. Enlighten me if I'm wrong. Other than that, you have started all your chapters with lines that would keep any intelligent reader on board to keep reading. Well done.

Hi axelbeariter. The chapters are in the right order. She is attacked in her home. After she has been fixed, she is taken hostage at knifepoint. Thanks for your comments and observations. Warmest regards, Marijke

Thanks for clearing that up. I realize now that I should have guessed that from the title. I'm still human.
Comment from Abio
Dear Fiona,
Good begining.
I may expect a different and interesting development and ending of what seems to be the "most logical" way this story can move ahead:
1 - She is Guilty by all means
2 - He is a Senator
3 - She is a women
Will be waiting to see your creativity to develop all ten chapters.
Saludos from Abio and good luck at the contest.

Thank you Abio, and yes, you have those three right - well maybe not the first one, that remains to be seen in the last chapter. Warmest regards and thanks for reading. Marijke

Ja, Ja, Ja , Fiona,
I did not explained well my logic.
Yes, number one of my list should be number three, because being him a Senator and she a women, in our society there are 99.9% chance that she will be declared guilty, no matter if she is it or not !!
Have a good night.

Oh, okay! In our society that is not necessarily so. Warmest regards, Marijke
Comment from MizKat
This is super. It was an enjoyable read and held my interest from the first sentence to the last. If you do make this into a book, I'd love to read it.

Comment from Helen Tan
As i follow the opening lines of the ten chapters, I feel the story moving. There's tension in the opening lines which will hook the readers to read on. As to whether it would flow from chapter to chapter, I'm not able to comment as we are not privileged to the full happening. Still it sounds an interesting novel.
Good luck in the contest.
I sense rather than hear the presence of someone in the room, yet I don't feel fear, just indignation that someone's inside my home.
This opening line to the first chapter is critical. It's a bit longer than what I like BUT you've piqued my curiousity with this character. I wonder how or why she "senses" rather than hear the presence. She comes across as a strong character.
