This is the end of the section I’ve been using for Six Sentence Sunday. In fact, the end of the section was reached after 4 sentences, so I put in two from the next section. Starting next week, I’ll be using bits from WIP.
Her hand rose to touch her aching jaw, and she realized with a start that she was still wearing the breathing mask that had kept her from drowning as she was carried downstream. She didn’t need it to sleep in, she thought, and pulled it off of her face. She was half hypnotized by the dancing flames, and very tired. Gradually her eyes became harder and harder to keep open.

The sun woke her from a nightmare. She had been somewhere else entirely, cramped into a cage.
Tourist Trap is now published (it wasn’t when I started blogging from it) and available from Barnes and Noble and Amazon — I hope by now in all formats. I’d love some reviews.

Not what I as expecting at all. Sensational six.
Intriguing – I need to read more!
You’re leaving us here? Oh, no! Guess I’ll have to pick up the book 🙂 Great six as always.
Wow! That’s powerful. I’ve put your books on my wish list 🙂
My goodness. Which place is the nightmare??
If you go to http://sueannbowling.com/six-sentence-sunday-scene_340.html for the whole scene, you will see that some of what drove Amber to get warm was empathic contact with Roi, who is in a cage. The “nightmare” is his reality, as would be clear to a reader of the book.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and listing it on your site. I don’t normally write SF, but dabble. This particular piece was for a prompt for Indie Ink.
Excellent six
Intriguing Six…looking forward to see what you post nexxt week 🙂
Should be interesting to read a snippet of your WIP next week 🙂
I lot of dramatic tension and questions raised that makes me want to read on.
