#Supergirl Snippet 2 for #SFFSat



Welcome to another Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy and read snippets exchanged by several writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/
This week, I have a snippet from a superhero WIP set in the fictional university city of Oxenford. Excuse the slightly altered punctuation to fit into the 15 line limit.

I’m here. Standing right next to you,” Rockette whinnied in her head. “Shucks, these invisible costumes are great; I can’t even see myself.”
Revolving in a semi-circle, Estelle touched a warm neck and ran her fingers down the mare’s body to the saddle. She pulled herself onto the broad back and scrambled into the saddle. “Let’s fly!

  1. So often superheroes "transform" without any explanation of what they do or how it happens - it's effectively just hand-waved magic. I like the fact that Estelle's transformation actually has a logical structure.

    1. Superman rushes to phone booth (now relics) and changes?
