‘Every who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot. And then the murders started.’
‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; and then the murders started.’
‘In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit. And then the murders started.’
‘As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. And then the murders started.’
‘It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen. And then the murders started.’

"In the beginning, god created the heavens and the Earth. Then the murders started."
Basically, the bible, abridged.
Nicely played.
