First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ Overgrowth by Mira Grant

This is the story. It can’t hurt you anymore.
It’s still important that you listen, because I am going to tell you things you need to know, and it will be easier for you to understand what’s happening if you pay attention to me now. But if you get scared, or if you wonder why I’m making you listen to this, just remember that this is a story. There was a time when it could hurt you, but that time is over and done. You’re safe. I’ll protect you, I promise. I really, really do.
This is a story. You need to know how it starts.
It can’t hurt you anymore.

First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ Wish Upon a K-Star by Kat Chao

Growing up, I hated when people lied.
Whether it was my brother laying the blame for a broken glass on me, or Mom telling our halmeoni we couldn’t visit for the holidays because I had a non-existent school event, or even a total stranger claiming they were ahead of you in line for the register.
It always bothered me when others lied.
Which is why I probably shouldn’t have debuted as an idol.
All we’re taught is how to lie.
