Which is the best opening line?

The day I met the genie, the boss emailed me demanding a meeting at eleven to discuss a matter of ‘great importance’.

The cold steel speculum entered her body as a punishment for her sins.

Alek knew a dragon’s roar.

I see them now in mirrors, on darkened windows, in waking dreams---all the faces I have painted.

Nicky's Pa had only ever struck him once, when he'd caught him sneaking a look at the very map Nicky was now unfolding.
