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’m continuing
the scene on the ocean planet from my new release Grand Master’s Mate. Their
adventures on this planet continue for several chapters and they discover the
surface of the ocean holds more perils than the deeps. In the next few weeks,
I’ll move on to give you glimpses into my WIP.
You can read last
week’s snippet here –
The eels dived towards the seabed. Athanor
followed, towing Violet by the hand. The agonized shrieks of dying eels clawed
into her sensitive mind; cringing, she blocked out their torments.
Lights flickered from the bottomlands. The
clustered conical shells of the eels’ submarine city lay smashed and broken.
Rumbling threats, amoeboids oozed through gaps in the broken cones of the eels’
houses. All sizes of amoeboids, from scarcely visible dots to giants as large
as Callama, nibbled at the dead bodies of the eels.
“Stand
back!” Athanor gave a mental shout. Violet transmitted his warning and the
eels undulated away.
