Yep, this thread is that simple.
Give your best attempt at the most noirish sentence you can muster.
I find it helps to imagine that it's being said by either the voice actor for Max Payne, or that ubiquitous chap that does all the movie trailer voice-overs (a la (
http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/comedian.html) The Comedian).
My soon-to-be-trumped effort goes as follows:
I was a dead man; my last breaths were like bullets and I was saving them for the men who'd turned my life into the blackest Grand Guignol nightmare.

Clouds hung over the city like the pale corpses of fat men in a swimming pool, casting shadows over the bloodstained streets.

Another dame with sob stories to tell and sleepless nights to give, Traci had red lips and pale blue eyes, like a smurf genocide.

I don't think anything I could come up with would ever top "Snow fell like confetti on the devil's parade."

I'd made so many sacrifices, lost so much time to it, and now my addiction complelled me to buy a copy of the Guardian.

It was dark behind the machine racks, so dark that they might never find the body of that luser that crashed the fileserver once too often.
