the egg is now in a nest made of shitty swords and soft puppet ass

Post a single sentence extract from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.

Hot doggies, let’s see what I’ve got here on Ye Thumb Drive… (okay, some of these may be slightly longer than one actual sentence, sue me)

• “No. …I said no, and that’s final. Look, you know how I feel about radio. You remember what happened last time. I am not going to do it. No way.”
• Fat and full and white as Wonder bread, and now that I could see that I could see sprinklings of stars around it, and there was a wispy little cloud scooting just under it, I could see it moving, and this was totally not stained glass, this was the honest-to-God night sky I was looking at, at half past noon while sunlight was pouring into every other window in the house.
• I’d just finished wrapping up our breakfast tacos when the funny pages tried to stab me to death.
• “You are not going into a nest of demons, Western or otherwise, with Ray!”
• Yani slapped her forehead and said something in Regulan–Tom wasn’t fluent by any stretch of the imagination, but as a comedian in this day and age it was his duty to learn to swear in as many alien languages as possible and he did recognize the Regulan words that weren’t spoken in polite company, and he was fairly sure all of them had just come out of Yani’s mouth.
• Eve stood up and leaned over the desk, planting both hands on it and glaring down at Adam in a way that would make most grown men want hugs from their mommies. “And get your fucking feet off my desk.”
• There was a tattered white dress hanging from the hook inside her locker, gray with dirt and stained reddish-brown here and there, a few long loose black hairs clinging to the shoulders, and the inside of her locker was covered with words, scratched into the painted metal as if with steel fingernails. HELP ME, HELP ME, HE’LL KILL ME, SHIORI, COME BACK, COME BACK, HE’LL KILL ME–
  

I think that’s it.
