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 am posting snippets from
Gargoyle Hunt, Book 3 of Secret Supers.
Blurb
Danger is the last thing on Estelle’s mind when
she visits the University of Oxenford for a summer course. But, mysterious
thefts and shadowy figures spur her into action. With Toby five thousand miles
away, Estelle and her winged horse must hunt for the culprits alone. Soon they
are embroiled in a mixed bag of aliens and ancient magic. Toby’s unexpected
arrival throws her into turmoil and spurs events into a climax.
By popular demand, I’m
continuing from a scene with a gargoyle in action.
Estelle
is walking to St. Swithin’s College after dark with Diane and Julian when they
hear a scream. Another student, Betty, sees what she calls a ghoul climbing the
church wall.
You
can read last week’s snippet here:
Estelle makes an excuse and runs off to switch
to Starrella in the final line: Sprinting past the
church, she dived into a dark archway.
“Rockette!” she rolled the nanomask over her head and slid her
fingers along the label of her costume, adjusting the nanofabric to the almost invisible
setting. Her motion destroying the reflective illusion of invisibility, the
hazy outline of Starrella appeared as she ran toward her friends. The
creature still clung on top of the wall like an ugly ornament. Diane and Julian
huddled together, while the professor hovered over Betty. Where was Rockette?
She couldn’t climb a vertical wall after that weird creature; she would have to
ride on the winged mare.
“I’m here. Standing right next to you,” Rockette whinnied in her
mind. “Shucks, these invisible costumes
are super great; I can’t even see myself.” Feathers glimmered as she
flapped her wing tips.
The
book is on pre-order for release on December, 6th.

ReplyDeleteI love Rockette's "words". Problematic and yet humorous that even the superheroes can't see themselves.
ReplyDeleteI have fun with my characters.
DeleteThat invisibility costumes seems like fun, I wonder how it feels not to see yourself. I also always wonder why the person wearing the thing would be invisible but still able to see through it. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteGood questions! Write a story about it.
DeleteQuite entertaining world-building and character-building, Aurora. Rockette is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteShe is cute!
DeleteLOL! I love Rockette's reaction to the invisibility! Although not being able to see each other could be a small hindrance. Lol.
