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
scene from my new release, Super Starrella. Seventeen year old Estelle’s quiet
summer at her uncle’s farm becomes weird shortly after her second meeting with the
hunky biker, Toby. In last week’s snippet, a black cat scared Estelle’s horse
onto a firing range. You can read it here –
Estelle screamed. She yanked at the
rope looped round the mare’s neck, trying to halt their breakneck gallop. Unsuccessful,
she could only cling tightly to her terrified horse.
The mare raced into a blaze of green
fire. Light exploded around Estelle, white light threaded with swirls of eerie
green. Thunder boomed in her ears.
Horse and rider flew backwards.
Slamming onto the ground, pain
flooded her mind and Estelle lost consciousness.

Teen
superhero, Starrella, and her flying horse tackle villains in the skies of
Atalanta.
A
quiet summer at her uncle’s farm turns frighteningly weird for seventeen-year
old Estelle Wright after she trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air
and knocked unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower. Not to mention a winged
horse with a snarky attitude and a mind of her own.
Back
home in Atalanta, a serial killer is targeting the students at Goldman University.
Before long she must juggle college classes with sneaking out of the house
after dark to battle murderous monsters. Estelle’s life is in danger, but who
can she trust with her secret: handsome Captain Copper from military
intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster with a motorbike?
Young
adult superheroes, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling
adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.

She's lucky she's only unconscious. This is not one of those milk horses who always returns safely to the barn.
ReplyDeleteThe horse is worse off than she is - if you read further.
DeleteHmmm science or magic? I suspect a bit of both!!! I want nore please ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're right. My fun mix of murder mystery, technothriller & alien superpowers.

ReplyDeleteExcellent descriptions, Aurora. The scene is full of action and spectacular effects. :-)
ReplyDeleteUh-oh! Not good at all. I'm curious as to what that green fire was.
ReplyDeleteShe gradually learns what really happened.
DeleteSounds like the firing range is worse than expected. Hope girl and horse are okay.
ReplyDeleteI don't kill my heroines!
DeleteUh oh, exactly what's going on in that firing range? Green light? Exciting and nerve-wracking stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou may learn, or not, in future snippets.
DeleteDramatic incident and leaves me wondering, as you say, how the poor horse is doing! And what next? Terrific snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove the visual action. I feel for her and her horse.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the horse lives.
The horse is a major character!
DeleteOuch! This one doesn't get any better the second time around... :-(
ReplyDeleteOh good!
DeleteThat wasn't what I was expecting from the firing range! You definitely have me eager to read more.

DeleteWhat kind of enemy is the military preparing for if they're shooting out green fire?? Hope she's okay. And her horse.
