Me too, for a different reason. Technically, I would 'keep reading', so I answered yes... but if the lines after that first line don't sell it: It's going to peter out pretty fast and I'll get bored.

I'm somewhat more... visceral, than to be grabbed with that starting line. It's very 'academic'. Like... she killed her baby the moment he came into this world... (goes back to the start to see if that was it, not quite: "She killed the infant shorty after giving birth to it."...)

It sounds so fucking removed. Where is the fucking emotion? If written this way, it desperately needs the followup of a sexy comma that moves towards this direction, ', just picked up the knife, and cursing: gouged through her newborn's heart.'

Make my pupils dilate... make me feel something. Share with me your emotion... your voice. I am probably not your targeted demographic... but I also don't know that I'm not.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
