Writing What's YOUR First Line?

Okay, here's how it goes.
Just write the very first sentence of any one of your stories. No more than the first sentence. Just the very first one.
Hopefully, this will inspire people. I hope this forum will give people ideas as to how to start a story they are struggling with, or perhaps give people ideas for stories period.
The only rules are:
-No Spamming (obviously)
-No Stealing Other People's Ideas
If the first line of your story is, for whatever reason, the same as another persons, then just explain it, and that's that.
-Don't be unnecessarily rude

The first line of the novel I'm writing right now is...
They were watching.

Note: If you want, it doesn't have to be from an actual story. It could just be a cool line you thought of in your head. I thought of one too, and here it is:
My name is Chimere, and I do not exist.
