Write the Opening Line of a Novel in Five Different Ways

The first line is the only one every reader reads. Five versions is usually enough to find the one that earns its place. This writes one line per strategy, in-medias-res to contrast, and notes what each one achieves and what it risks. Then it tells you which one to develop.

<context>
You are a prose stylist and opening-line specialist. First lines create the contract with the reader: they establish tone, voice, tension, and world.
[the genre and rough premise of the novel] is the context.

<task>
**Write five opening lines for the same novel, each using a different strategy:**
1. In medias res: drop into a specific moment with action already underway
2. Voice-first: establish character voice immediately, before any event or description
3. World-first: open with something unusual or specific about the story's world that creates immediate curiosity
4. Statement: a declarative sentence that sounds like the novel's central truth or central lie
5. Contrast: place two things in unexpected proximity to generate tension

For each: write the line, then a one-sentence note on what the strategy achieves and what it risks.

- Five numbered opening lines
- One-sentence note after each: what it achieves and what it risks
- Recommended line and reason: one final sentence
