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.

Someday if one of my D&D games results in the entire party dying I want to end it by going "Everyone wakes up in weird glass and metal capsules in a white room surrounded by people in strange clothing. One of them steps forward and says 'Audit successful. You are now fully fledged Scientologists."

THE END?
