Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences.
Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today, I’ll continue the aftermath of the wasp-spider
attack on Moon Station from Grand Master’s Game. Last week’s snippet can be read here –

“Her pawn’s collar stopped the jaws from closing,” Athanor
grated. The Grand Master clambered to his feet and retrieved his dagger from
the punctured eye of their attacker. He lent his hand to help Violet scramble
up.
She hung shakily to his arm and looked around. Six bulky
yellow-striped bodies lay on the floor, their legs still twitching. A tall
woman in a survival suit stood two paces away; her open faceplate showed the
white skin and dark goggles of an albino. Two men in combat gear moved from
body to body, aiming heavy duty lasers in case an insect revived.
One workman had defended himself with the toolbox and
screwdriver he brandished. The second workman lay on the ground, blood pumping
from his neck where the mandibles had cut through the tough suit. Sickened by
the gory sight, Violet turned away.
Books 1 & 2 of
the Trilogy are published and I am polishing Book 3.
