Haven’t done this in a long while!
I checked out the Trifecta challenge for this week and it seemed like a good one so I’m going for it. I made the decision to incorporate two challenges. Use of the word normal and an opening line for a book (I believe the opening line challenge was week 35). Anyway…as usual, I kept mine to 33 words because I find that to be a bit more interesting.
Using the 3rd definition of normal: 3: a form or state regarded as the norm : standard
My day began with a hot cup of coffee, a beautiful sunrise, a dead body, a call to 911 and an alibi. Some might find this odd but for me, it’s unbelievably normal.

Very interesting opening line. I was going to guess the subject is a homicide detective except that there would be no need to call 911. So I am curious.

Whoa! It all seemed mundane, until the dead body. And this is apparently normal? I’d love to know more about this character!
