Not Just Anybody

HELP!

NaNoWriMo started yesterday but I can't get my imagination to comply. I need your assistance in getting my muse on the rollerdisco floor. So...

1) Please choose a work of fiction sitting near you.
2) Randomly select a sentence (not a paragraph; just a sentence).
3) Stick it in this post's comments section (not forgetting to include the source).

Thank you. This will be a great aid. I'll attempt to use all the sentences in the first few chapters of my novel, and hopefully that will be enough to get things flowing.

the bus was waiting, panting heavily at the curb in front of the small bus station, its great blue and silver bulk glittering in the moonlight.

What a wonderful sentence!

I heart Shirley Jackson. From what work is that sentence taken?

one of my favorite short stories of hers, "the tooth."

I'll look it up.
