Write Five Distinct Opening Lines for Your Short Story

You've got a story idea and a cursor blinking on an empty first line that never feels right. This writes five distinct openings from your premise, one dropped into action, others doing different jobs, and explains the effect of each. For the beginner stuck at the very first sentence of a first draft.

<task>
**Generate five distinct opening lines and explain what each one does:**
1. Write one opening line that drops the reader into action.
2. Write one opening line that establishes voice through an unusual observation.
3. Write one opening line that introduces the central tension as a quiet fact.
4. Write one opening line that begins with a character doing something small and revealing.
5. Write one opening line that starts with a question the story will answer.

For each line, write one sentence explaining the technique it uses and what it invites the reader to do next.
