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.
Toby
is in London where he has been followed. He walked into an ambush. See last
week’s snippet –

The final sentence was: Toby agreed, “Time to scarper,
cat.”
He rubbed the back of his neck
where the cudgel had hit. He could feel a tender lump; the headache was only
going to worsen.
“Want to ride?” the cat stretched his legs, appearing as a ghostly
shape.
“Yep, fastest way out! But you look like a ghost with the invisibility
setting. Shoot up high.”
Unfurling his wings in a glimmer
of white-edged feathers, Growler purred, “Flying
out is better than being caught red-handed.”
Toby searched in the littered
alley and retrieved his best jacket. He grunted, “No need to leave evidence lying around.” Stuffing the jacket under
his invisible nanoshirt, he mounted the big jaguar.

Growler is so cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, i love the animals in these stories.
DeleteLucky he is to have a person aircraft to whisk him away from the unpleasantness.
ReplyDeleteRight. My superheroes can't fly alone. Toby needs to ride his winged jaguar.
DeleteA flying jaguar! I want one! Nice scene, showing Toby's quick thinking.
ReplyDeleteOh yes - me too!
DeleteI'm glad Toby arrived. He's needed!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is.
DeleteSounds like they have a nifty escape plan. Sure beats running :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd love to fly on a winged jaguar or horse.
DeleteI love Growler- what a cool animal power.
ReplyDeleteYes, the animals are the real stars in this series.
DeleteWish I had a big cat like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's one fun part of creating stories.
DeleteAwesome snippet! :D
ReplyDeleteTaking flight, the best escape.
ReplyDeleteYes - especially on a black jaguar with wings.
DeleteGrowler makes a good point! "Flying out is better than being caught red-handed.” :-) Good snippet, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteNo post for me this week.
Thanks. Growler doesn't always understand the subtleties of human society, but he understands about hunting.
DeleteGreat snippet, Aurora. I still love that word scarper (from last week). I think they did indeed scarper.
ReplyDeleteThey'll fly away.
DeleteGreat snippet!
ReplyDeleteEscaping while wearing an invisibility shirt sounds like the way to go!
ReplyDeleteThe invisible setting is not perfect, but it helps.
DeleteInteresting snippet!
ReplyDeleteA flying jaguar! Eee!
ReplyDeleteGood idea collecting the evidence. Leave as little trace as possible.
Yes, Growler and Toby make a fun team.
DeleteI love their interactions.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
