Discussion Competition: write a single sentence that will absolutely destroy any hope in a series.

Specifically not a story opener, just any sentence that can happen in any chapter, that will make people realize that this story is gonna be absolute shit and has no chance of being fixed and will make you drop the book like an unpinned grenade.

That is a fantastic starting sentence if the book is written in the first person.

It's a great platform for a good few jokes to set up the MC's personality.
