Happy New Year!
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.
Since my WIP is still at a rough
stage, I am still 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.
Last
week (See http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2016/12/chill-snippet-from-gargoyle-hunt-for.html ), we learned Toby had a
difficult day in London where he met Lord Winterbourne, head of the British
Farleons. When Toby left the building, he discovered a short man was tailing
him. So, this piece is in Toby’s POV.
Giving a mental shrug, he resolved
to take the spy on a tedious walk through the busy city before shaking him off.
Toby led his tail on a lengthy tour from Wessex House to the Thames and along
the waterfront all the way to the Tower of London. After joining the tourists
gawping at the dungeons and the crown jewels, he left the Tower in the middle
of the afternoon. Marching from the river to the main streets, he dived into
the dark entrance to the underground and jumped on the first train of the
Circle Line. He got off at the next station, crossed the bridge to the platform
on the opposite side and backtracked. Unluckily, his tail caught sight of him
exiting the carriage. Stubborn guy!
Time to switch to a different
tactic.

He is one hard tail to lose. I wonder what Toby will try next. An intriguing snippet! :)
ReplyDeleteGood! I think Toby is having fun.
DeleteI don't suppose this dude is just trying to see the sights of London?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Toby is.
DeleteI wonder if Toby's 'tail' has not realised he has been noticed.At least he got to see some sights.
ReplyDeletePossibly.
DeleteHis tail is hard to shake. Funny, though that he made him visit all the tourist attractions. Maybe he should have taken him lingerie shopping just for fun. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Toby is into lingerie shopping! And if he did, the assistants would swamp him! LOL.
DeleteNice cat and mouse play, Aurora. A determined shadow, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteYes, with glimpses of London attractions.
DeleteHmmm, this spy knows what he's doing. And now Toby's actions have probably revealed that he knows he's being tailed.
ReplyDeleteRight, but the tail is hanging in. You'll see why in the next few snippets.
DeleteWhat a jaunt! Fun and games may get serious in this tag team.
ReplyDeleteIt will get serious.
DeleteDefinitely, a stubborn tail.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteShe will have to be more creative, it seems.
ReplyDeleteOf course. He wasn't trying very hard.
DeleteThe guy is good at his job, but Toby gave him his exercise for the day.
ReplyDeleteYes. Toby wanted to tour London.
DeleteThat's one way to see a city. :) :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Excellent point!
DeleteYes!
DeleteThe tail is persistent, I'll give him that. Wonder what the new tactic will be...
ReplyDeleteToby hasn't really tried to shake him, yet.
DeleteToby's certainly determined and smart! I enjoyed all the description of the sights in the snippet too...
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's going to get tricky.
DeleteI wonder what he's being tailed for. I hope he can get creative on finding a way to shake him off.
ReplyDeleteProbably because he had a meeting with Lord Winterbourne.
DeleteLove the tour Toby's taking him on!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen the London sights.
DeleteWow! That tail is hard to lose! Interesting note to end, though. Makes me wonder what's next.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Aurora!
Happy New Year!
DeleteNow that's one stubborn tail! Nice scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
