What a busy weekend its been. Well the whole week has been a big rat race, lots of scrambling with end of the year school stuff for the kids and the bright idea to do home improvement projects when its blistering hot out. At least we managed to see the new Jurassic World. Absolutely loved! Would totally go and see it again. LOL. Anyhoo, back to the reason you’re here 🙂 Another chance to catch up on snippets and WIP by authors sharing their stories. To get a full list visit www.wewriwa.com. Below I decided to share from Project Genesis. Aliens attack Earth and our hero realizes that his ex lover is in the middle of a battle zone.
Wind rattled the lone window above them followed by the screech of fighter jets. Gunfire sounded followed by silence as the battle traveled further away from them. “Let’s move,” Vin ordered, jumping to his feet. He wanted to get to Helen as soon as possible. That was too close for comfort. If the Rekabians decided to level the building they were all done.
“Helen?”
“I’m okay.”
Vin released a relieved smile, “That’s my girl. On my way, hellcat.”
Busy mom writes good snippet here. I felt the urgency and love.
Thank you Charmaine. Also my dad just informed me he broke his foot this weekend so add busy daughter as I’m going to help him over the next 4-6weeks
Evocative snippet, well done. I do have o tug on my moderator hat a moment, and request you limit your snippet to 10 or less sentences. Thank you and I look forward to reading the snippet you post next week.
I thought I did Jess which means I was seriously punchy. All fixed, thx
Nice to see there’s still love and affection there as former lovers. Of course, impending death changes a few things…
As for life–I hear you! I don’t know what it is this year, but the end of school madness seems multiplied by… well, huge. May it soon settle down for you.
Great imagery, beautiful writing!
The last word, “hellcat” really drew me in. They must share quite a history.
Love the guy talk! “hellcat.” Yeah!
Wow, an intense situation and a scene with high stakes! Enjoyed the excerpt and of course I want more. Great stuff!
Very realistic, nice tension. His connecting with her and those words “On my way, hellcat” have me holding my breath
