I wasn’t planning to continue the scene from Tourist Trap, as I wasn’t sure how to break up the 9 sentences remaining. But it got so much attention last week I decided to cut the next 3 sentences and give the end of the scene. Next week I might give Zhaim’s POV, a little later. Meanwhile, I decided to include some eye candy of a somewhat different sort, thanks to Hubble.
Timi’s grip on Roi tightened as Zhaim stalked forward, his arm swinging back as he came. Roi tried to duck away from the blow, but Timi’s hold swung him into it instead. His head snapped to the side, and then before he could recover another blow slammed into his stomach, followed by a kick to his groin.
The world narrowed to a maelstrom of fists, knees and feet. He felt ribs give, and then a tearing pain as Timi’s body twisted his shoulder out of its socket in an effort to keep him on his feet. He hoped with all his heart, as the darkness closed in around him, that at least one of the dogs would get its message to Kyrie.
Did any of the dogs make it? Get the book!
Lots of other talented authors are posting six sentences of their work today. To find them, click on the Six Sentence Sunday logo below.
Loving the words and love the images from the Hubble. Thank you.
I finally decided eye candy didn’t have to be male.
You ended on areal cliffhanger, and I’m intrigued. Nice eye candy, too.
That’s just the way the section ended.
Those kick to the groins hurt. Hurt a lot. Loving this fight scene!! Dog to the rescue!!
The dogs have been in for quite a while. Not here, though–they got tired.
Ouch! Great action-packed six. Loved the line: The world narrowed to a maelstrom of fists, knees and feet.
Thank you. He’s getting a bit shocky, and I’ve had enough of that.
A very well described fight! And then an intriguing comment at the end, about the dogs. Excellent excerpt!
Ah, the dogs. (Smiles.)
Dang! I hope the dogs made it, and he survives this.
Fraid you’ll have to get the book for that.
Wow..action packed & emotioinal…great six Sue Ann 🙂
Thanks. I’ve tried for a balance between action, suspense, and world-building. Even a touch of romance.
Okay. The internet hates me today. 😛 Let’s try this again…
Dang, Sue Ann. I have such a love/hate relationship with cliffhangers and you left us with a good one! Great six (and I love the eye candy!) 😀
Sometimes you just gotta put them in. (The trilogy’s got a couple between books, and lots just before POV shifts.)
I felt his pain!! Great six!
Zhaim’s into pain. Seriously. (I’ll do a bit from his POV next week.)
Brutal scene – I hope he gets payback eventually! Love the Hubble pic!
Wishing you a very productive #writemotivation month,
Jocelyn
Ouch! Gonna have to read the book now! Great six!
Wow, BRUTAL!
Well, I don’t do brutal often, but now and then it’s needed.
Great description of the action. Such a tease, you are, with that ending!
Oh yes, the dogs. Did I mention that they were bred to hunt mammoths?
Nice way to leave people hanging.
I’m not sure nice is the word I’d use!
Man, he just got the you-know-what beat out of him! Great action scene…
Thanks, that’s what I was trying to convey.
