Five Sentence Fiction – Shiver He could still feel the pain from the bite, the shiver of anxiety over took him as he looked at the discolored wound on his hand.  A cold sweat started to drift down his forehead, vision blurred, and stomach churned as he felt his hard earned meal unsettle.  He lookedContinue reading “Five Sentence Fiction – Shiver”

Six Sentence Sunday I figured I would join in on the fun, and each Sunday in February (or maybe more, haven’t decided) I will post six sentences from one of my current works in progress.  This week comes from my Steampunk novel, the Ulysses. Hair black as the feathers of a crow, set in aContinue reading “Six Sentence Sunday”

So I sat down to write my Five Sentence Fiction for this week and I wanted to do something different.  Well different for me as I planned on doing it in first person.  I didn’t really like what I came up with but after the amazing Lillie McFerrin (she truly is a great editor) wasContinue reading “Happy Friday the 13th”

Hunger He held a tight grip on the haft of his dull gladius in his right hand, his spike adorned helmet in his left.  His heart pounded, echoing the sound of the crowd, their stomping and thunderous cheers.  His chest covered in oil meant to make his body gleam and shine in the open sunContinue reading “Five Sentence Fiction – Hunger”
