Set the Scene in Six!

So sorry the post is late. Apparently the auto-scheduling is still not working.

One of the finest aspects of fiction writing is the ability to set the scene.  Characters act and react, but they don't do so in a vacuum.  In their world, they meet, fall in love, solve problems, sometimes horrendous problems.  Maybe it's a small town, maybe the big city, the green, humid jungle, dust-dry desert, a mountainous region.  On the sea.  Under the sea.  In space! 

Setting the scene sets up the unexpected. It's also done by using character dialogue to paint a picture of loveliness, danger, evil, trepidation, excitement, awe...

Give us six sentences that set the scene and tout your talent.  How have you set the scene or the lead-up in your books?  Post your six sentences, your website/blog link, and one buy link in the comment box.
