#ScribesAndMakers day 23: Answer to yesterday's poll.
Oooh, a tie! Looks like I got the difficulty right. 😄
All three lines are from urban fantasies. The 1st one is the 1st line of Fritz Leiber's _Our Lady of Darkness_, a mix of horror and early UF that's set in San Francisco.
The 2nd comes from early in _The Last Hot Time_, by John M. Ford. It's straight-up UF, and set in a changed (and incredibly cool) Chicago.
Mine is the 3rd, from very early in chapter 2, introducing Kevin Wingard.
