I am tired, but I don't want to sleep. I am watching a cool documentary and I must stop. Wah!

A challenge! A challenge!

Give me a fic sentence. Just one evocative sentence. Any fandom, any character, any kind of mood, silly or serious. This will cheer me muchly on my Monday.

There was a trick to finding just the right balance of dust for an antiquarian bookshop: too little, and the perfume of ancient parchments and pages wound up smelling like someone had sprayed the room with Old Book Scent; too much, and you risked damaging the texts. (Good Omens inspired.)

There are times when you know exactly what to do.

This isn't one of them.

Scars Can Come In Handy

I give you a minisaga -- fifty words that no longer quite fit into the HP universe, but make me smile:

"I think," he said, "that we had best take the Northern Line instead. Change at Leicester Square. Mind the gap."

Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in another, so I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.

There are days he can remember how long it's been since he's seen the sun.

Your choice of fandom.
