It starts with a credible protagonist; some conflict arises around the second paragraph; the dialogue sounds somehow foreign, but convincing. A good intro hooks the reader, not with forced tensions or attention-grabbing gimmicks, but some honest insight into experiences similar, and yet superior, to his own.
Steph, don't knock yourself out. It was nothing worth a struggle; it was just my (silly, failed?) attempt to apply some literary analysis to your little onion's unfolding story. You're (half of) the author, he's the hero, and I am your captivated reader. If this was the intro, I can’t wait for Chapter 1.
Btw my "little onion" has so far been called the following names (all by me, of course):
- Τέρας - Κτήνος - Χοντροπατάτας - Παλιομπιφτέκης - Χοντρομπιζέλης - Αρακάς - Φέρυ-Μπώτ (If you see him in his little bath-tub you'll understand) - etc...
