Due to a lack of contributions, we've extended the Muse to a bimonthly issue... at least for now. So, here's a tiebreaker for Best Line of the Month! Vote for the line that you thought was best, and your favorites will be included in the March issue of the Muse. Get to voting!
#1: As blood and mangled flesh painted his chest and face, he smiled. It was going to be an amusing contest after all. -Deathmatch, by Evil_Mewf0ur
#2: “Is that a headband you’re wearing round your ass?” -Maisy's grandfather, Show-Off, by Chris 2.1
#3: "Not a monster, just not human enough" -Only a Small Lie, by PancaKe
#4: “But really,” Jack found himself adding all of a sudden, “haven’t you ever felt restless? Like you want to get into a fight and win, and to show the world what you can do? Aren’t you ever more excited by violence than you know you should be? Don’t you ever just want to solve your problems the physical way? Don’t you ever want to act?” -Jack, Morphic, by Dragonfree
#5: “It’s…” Solonn began, but found himself almost immediately at a near-loss for words. He tried to describe it, thinking upon the sensation, calling on memories of past experiences with it to study within his mind… and as he did so, he found himself falling into the sensation in the present. The ice on the floor before him answered the unintentional call of those straying thoughts, snaking upward and resuming the helical shape it had held in that very spot before, with little wispy projections emerging from the main body of the sculpture and another, smaller helix rising up through the center of it. -Communication, by Sike Saner
