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.
I’m
continuing the scene from my latest release: Starrella Falls, Book 2 in the Secret Supers. You can read the
first chapters HERE.
Background: The wanted murderer, Craoker, followed
Toby and Estelle out of the pub. Croaker attacks Estelle, and Toby knocks him
out.

The
final sentence was: “What guy?” Mark strode over
and stared at the body.
[Slightly creative punctuation to fit]
“Croaker, the man wanted for
murder,” Estelle explained; “we recognized him when we were in the pub.”
“He was bothering Estelle,” Toby
growled, pulling her protectively to his side.
“Are you all right?” Diane asked,
running to Estelle and catching her hand.
“I’m fine; Toby is looking after
me.”
Kneeling by the unconscious Croaker,
Mark examined his face, “You’re correct, Ryan, it’s Croaker in a simple disguise.”
He looked up at Toby, “I’ll take him to the police station. Give me a hand to
shove him in my car.”
Grabbing hold of his arms, Toby
lifted Croaker’s upper torso and Mark seized his legs to carry the unconscious
man to the car. Toby stepped aside and rubbed his hands together, “Better tie
his hands.”

I was going to say, just shoving him in the car may still be dangerous. But, is tying his hands enough?
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to wait to find out. If I get that far with snippets.
DeleteMy reaction was exactly the same as Jessica's. I hope that tying his hands is enough.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct to be curious.
DeleteI don't recall, how dangerous is he? Does he have superpowers? If so, then tying hands probably won't restrain him if he wakes up. But if he's normal dude, it should suffice.
ReplyDeleteHe was introduced in an earlier chapter as someone with special tools like poison darts and a tendency to kill.
DeleteYes, by all means do more than just tie this dangerous guy up! Will be interesting to see what happens next...terrific snippet.
ReplyDeleteIt gets complicated. I'm not sure how the snippets will work out.
DeleteYes, please get the cuffs, ties, and restraints tightened. This guy is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteOk, so the are definitely underestimating Croaker. Let's see how that unravels. Excellent snippet, as always Aurora!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeletePutting this guy in the car, even unconscious and tied up, seems potentially dangerous!
ReplyDeleteUhuh! I hope nothing happens in that car!
ReplyDeleteDon't you want some excitement?
DeleteI'm nervous about that car ride too! Looking forward to more.

Good!
DeleteI have the feeling they are setting themselves up for trouble by underestimating this guy. Oh my!
ReplyDeleteSome of them are.
DeleteYup. Always good to tie the hands, just in case he's putting up an act. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how far Mark can be trusted. He was certainly quick to volunteer to take him to the police station instead of calling the cops to come get him.
ReplyDeleteGood insight!
DeleteTie his hands, and his feet, and the rest of him... he sounds like a piece of work. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteHe is!
DeleteHope tying his hands will prove enough.
ReplyDeleteWait and see, if my snippets go on long enough!
DeleteYour covers are getting better!
ReplyDelete"Better tie his hands." Oh my God, yes! Tie his hands! :-)
ReplyDeleteWill it be sufficient! Lol.
DeleteI'd be careful of him even now. I'm sure our heroine will be fine, though.
ReplyDeleteThe story does have a happy ending (sort of), but Croaker is dangerous and sneaky.
Deletetie the hands ... or better shove him in the boot. And .... i like PT's thinking, too. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThe boot would be good.
DeleteWow this guy is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is.
DeleteBy how much they were saying this guy is dangerous, I'm wondering if just the hands is enough. And why wouldn't you just call the cops to you? Something smells fishy ever since Mark had perfect timing showing up.
