Opening Lines for a Never-to-Be-Written Novel

The Thistle Throne

"Throw that thimble!" the thespian thundered, thrilling the theatre. Thereafter, three thieves thrust through the threshold. They threatened thumps; they thrived. Then these thugs thirsted. Thermos? Thinking thallium thirst-quenching, the thespian's thallium they threw therein. Their throats throbbed, they thrashed.
I'm not sure where the story would go from there. Is the thespian the hero? The antihero? A smokescreen - the story perhaps follows the thespian's therapists? Undoubtedly the plot would thicken and many themes would thread through.
