Only Hint - Snippet from #Superhero story for #WeWriWa



Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!

I’m running snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series. It was written for an anthology that didn’t get published. I’m debating whether to expand it into a novella or make an anthology with other short stories. Any suggestions are welcome.

Background: After Estelle joined their table, Toby, the leader of the Secret Supers, has just explained that Gecko’s baby sister is missing.
Last line was: “Yep; know how it is; ain’t easy to lose part of your family,” Toby drawled.

Toby continued, “Problem number two, our contact in the cops’ station sent word they’re worried about street kids disappearing. Inspector Parkins suspects child trafficking or something. Reckon the two problems might be connected.” Stabbing his forefinger at Gecko, he said, “Tell them about the chief suspect.”
“Okay;” Gecko frowned; “Normally, Juliana rides the school bus with Sofia, a girl from the next building in our complex. The day she went missing, her friend was sick, and neither of the mothers came to meet the bus. Bus driver watched a woman greet Juliana and lead her away. Typical Latina, short hair, neatly dressed; driver thought she was a relative from out of town. Didn’t get worried until next morning when the cops called.”
Toby said, “Know it’s not much, but she’s the only hint we have.”

Her mother's frantic - snippet from #Superhero short story for #WeWriWa



Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!

I’m running snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series. It was originally intended for an anthology that didn’t receive enough submissions. I’m debating whether to expand it into a novella or make an anthology with other short stories. Any suggestions are welcome. 
Sorry for skipping two weeks. Two Sundays ago, I was traveling from London to Atlanta. Last weekend, I was attending a departmental retreat.
The last line was: Estelle slipped into the chair next to Toby.
(Please excuse added semicolons to fit 8-10 sentences.)

He winked at her, “Hi, Star.” His special, lop-sided grin sent her pulse racing.
“What’s up?” she asked.
He nodded toward the younger student, “Problem number one, Gecko’s baby sister is missing.”
“Juliana Rosado’s not really my sister,” Gecko explained, “she’s the seven-year old daughter of a family living in my apartment complex. I’ve kind of adopted Juliana; play ball with her after school. She’s a happy girl, not the type to run away; her mother’s frantic. Cops have been searching for almost a week, and the whole neighborhood’s jittery.” After this uncharacteristically long speech, he shook his head and looked at Toby.
“Yep; know how it is; ain’t easy to lose part of your family,” Toby drawled.

Toby - Snippet from #Superhero short story for #WeWriWA



Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!

I’ve switched to snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series. It was originally intended for an anthology that didn’t receive enough submissions. I’m debating whether to expand it into a novella or make an anthology with other short stories. Any suggestions are welcome. 


Gecko, a skinny lad with dark curly hair, had his laptop open. His elbows on the table, Toby sat beside him; his sleeveless black shirt exposed the tattoo of a cat leaping up his muscular biceps. He leaned his chin on his hand and peered at the screen as if he were helping with Gecko’s homework instead of organizing his gang. A graduate student in Aerospace Engineering, Toby had a brain to match his brawn, and layers of secrets. The Ice Princess sat with her chair pushed away from the others. Her long, silvery locks draped over the back of the seat, she examined her fingernails with a disinterest that was not feigned. Apart from Toby, Estelle did not know their real names.
Rockette said, “Cheers. I’ll go and bother Growler.” She flew across the lawn to the parking lot, and plopped onto the handlebars of the black motorcycle propped by the wall.
Estelle slipped into the chair next to Toby.
