Ha! For example, Don Quixote:
Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing.
And then the murders began.
——
Or The Great Gatsby:
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
And then the murders began.
——
Or maybe Harry Potter and the Camber of Secrets:
Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive.
And then the murders began.
——
Or, of course, LIttle Women:
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
And then the murders began.
——
It's fun for the entire literary family.

Originally shared by +Michael “Draco” R:
In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.
And then the murders began.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
And then the murders began.
Moby dick doesn't work very well:
Call me Ishmael.
And then the murders began.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And then the murders began.
Going back to Tolkien.
When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
And then the murders began.
I was taking a shat in the loo. And then the murders began.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
And then…
Reminds me of reading fortune cookies and finishing with “Between the sheets.”
I came on my space ship. And then the murders began
Harry Potter and the ‘Camber’ of Secrets – might be an improvement.
This is way too complex, to add an entire sentence after reading another one…
Just put "in space" at the end of any sentence. No need to waste so much time.
Eg: in a hole, in the ground, there lived a Hobbit, in space.
I came on another space ship I saw Erick Magnus with my five eyes. And then the murders began
What school did you people go to? Never start a sentence with and.
And yet again I came on another space ship, (I've got 7 eyes now as I have evolved)I saw a odd golem type creature,something was lodged in its anal cavity it looked like a large carrot anyways stuck to this creatures head was a name tag which read Dick Magnus
And then the murders began
+Erick Magnus rules are meant to be broken.
+Paula Moore Especially when murder is involved.
