"I lost an arm on my last trip home."

IMO, one of the great #OpeningSentences.
What are other great openers?

Samuel R. Delany had a good example that he used for illustrating the way a word or two can suddenly transform a sentence. It went something like:

"The red sun is high,"

followed by

"the blue low."

Somehow, between the two parts of the sentence, the reader is transported to another solar system.

Great example! I'd like to note that Delany is still alive, too.
