She reached the mute-toned suburban before long, a well-loved three-story with a paint-stripped front porch and medical herbs hanging just outside the window to dry.
a sad line
They were going to have to bury their only child.
a line that is shouted
"That's my house! My wife, she- Ana! Ana!"
a funny line
"Y'know," she said, "I don't think we were supposed to kill him." They both stared at the corpse on the floor.

I’d kill for this Yakult without hesitation or remorse.
I hope I did this correctly! This was a lot of fun!

A line with death
From The Secret Portal Part One - CW: death
Kwasiyaa squinted, trying to figure out what it was, but before she could, her sister’s body convulsed as the light was jammed into her stomach. “ATSILA!” Kwasiyaa shrieked, her voice cracking, as her sister’s body crumpled to the ground.
A line with fear
From The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)
My head whipped to my right to see a patch of vines wrapped around a tree. I yelped as they detached themselves and snatched in the air toward me, jumping back and almost tripping on the uneven ground. I staggered until it appeared they couldn’t get to me. The vines seemed to notice something above them, and I followed them up until a sight caused a deep shudder to course through me. Ash hung above my head, tangled in and thrashing against the vines that twisted around her body. “Oh, my—! Ash!” Ash seemed to notice me, but from her head hung in an almost-limp fashion, as if she was losing consciousness. Panic rushed through me as I tried to form a coherent thought.
A funny line
From The Secret Portal Part Two (Noelle POV)
My comm beeped next to me, signalling a direct line. I picked it up from the desk in front of me. It was from Dr. Asghar. Confused, I answered it. “Hello?” “Finally! Where are you? I commed your room multiple times and didn’t get a single response! I even tried to have SORARA, and unless you’re the lightest sleeper except for direct commlines, you’re not in your room.” “Couldn’t sleep,” I answered, somewhat truthfully, once I could get a word in the lecture. “Doctor, if I may ask, why are you calling me at this time?” “Why are you awake at this time?” I paused, not sure how to respond a question I’d already answered. Dr. Asghar must have realized this because she went, “Nevermind. I have to run tests today, and I have to get you done and going first. Come up to the lab. Now. I want to talk to you.” She hung up.
A line with colour
From The Secret Portal Part Two (Jedi POV)
Svyatoy Andreyzamok was beautiful. We walked alongside a large river, the Novayavoda, that ran through the middle of the city. The buildings seemed rather uniform, carved by terrakinetics obviously, due to the materials, and near the tops of the buildings were more elaborate designs done in colored stone. They fit with the climate: cold, but not dry. My eyes rested on a teal building with white columns and yellow trim around the windows. I read the sign, advertising it as a health museum.
A line you've changed a lot
From The Secret Portal Part One
Kwasiyaa screamed at the explosion behind her, but the sound that escaped her throat was masked by the deafening eruption. In her state, she lost control of the cloak she covered over herself and her husband, rendering them temporarily visible. [This is the first line of the book, which I've changed a million times]

Late thanks to @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag! This is kind of a cheat, since a lot of these need context around them so they're longer than 1 line, lmao. But whatever!

A line with movement
Glancing at the clock, she had about 5 minutes before it was time to eat, and it took about 10 to get there from her room. That plus how long it’d take to buy food… she’d have run if it wouldn’t have exerted too much energy. As it was, she moved at a respectable speed-walking pace.
A line with fear
Her breathing turned quick and shallow, and she fought to regulate it. She lost that battle once her opponent had made their appearance.
A funny line
The scream building in Iris’ chest was taking everything in her power to hold back. “Luna. Did you. Attack. The crown. Prince.”
A line with color
“You seem… familiar.” Ah, shit. Was he gonna sue?! Before she could cook up a proper lie, his eyes widened in recognition. “Blueberry.” “Huh?” “You’re the blueberry-haired girl. The little demon from the fountain.” If she wasn’t afraid of getting kicked out of the library or even hanged, she’d have screeched at that. Blueberry?! Her hair was cobalt! Cobalt! Maybe even cornflower in certain lighting! “Fuck you,” was out of her mouth before she had the sense to shut up.
A line you've changed a lot
The naginata had yet to forsake her, and so it would be at her side as she stood before the doors of death.
For you: A line with movement, a line with fear, a funny line, a line with color, and a line you LOVE
