The following is a list of openers I created. Feel free to use them as you wish.
- John glances down at his feet to see a small child pulling his trouser leg.
- As his digital watch counts the seconds down to midnight, Sam steadies himself and straightens his jacket.
- Grace turns around, just in time to see a man pull out a gun and point it at her face. “Alright, drop the bag,” he growled.
- As Julius hammers the last nail into the box, he hears a knock on the front door.
- Godfrey sees a train pull over. He makes a run for it.
- Nervously, Janet bows towards her male counterpart.
- The two pilots of the bomber swing their aircraft into position behind the tanker.
- The president looks out of the balcony of his palace and sees a cloud of dust in the nearby forest clearing.
- As Daisy walks along a canal, she hears someone call her by name.
- “This is the innovation to end all innovations!” Hughes declares, looking at the strange contraption beside him.
- As a bomb whistles past their heads, the commander says, “A window! Let’s go!”
- Upon seeing him approach her from the throng, her heart skips a beat.

Generally, your openers are fine. However, they are a bit uninteresting and I need to see more creativity in openers that can hook people. Having said that, I do like Number 4. Now that’s intriguing.
