A Seattle author has won a contest to create the worst opening sentence to start a book. Molly Ringle won the 28th annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, a bad-writing contest sponsored by San Jose State University. Ringle won with this opening sentence: “For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss – a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s thirstiest gerbil.”
