Six Sentence Sunday  1/13/12

1/12/2013

23 Comments

 
Hello again friends and internet neighbors.  Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday in KateWarrenLand.  And a great big thank you to everyone who came to visit last week, those who read, those who commented, those who landed at the wrong website and immediately left. 

As comments have been so lovely and supportive and several have expressed a wish to know how the tournament ended, we will continue where we left off last week for this six.  Though next week I fully intend to revert to my random scrolling method.



          It seemed that Sir Anton had made an error and Lord Allemande was pressing his advantage to the full.  Just at the last second, a shift of balance by
Sir Anton reversed the deficit and gave him the victory.
          The crowd roared its approval for a match well fought and a triumph earned.  Both men lowered their weapons wearily.  Anton raised his arm in acknowledgement of the spectators’ admiration.  Geoffrey exhaled in a
pungent mixture of misery and relief.



That is all for me this week.  I'll be visiting off visiting the other Six Sentence Sunday authors throughout the day, and I hope you will be too.

Kate

I love the last line! I'm guessing that losing was bad for him. I like that the tournament has taken its toll on both men.

I love that the details are not physical descriptions, but emotional--leaving it the reader to fill in what actually happened for Anton to reach victory. And the line about relief & misery makes the reader question Geoffrey. Excellent six.

I like the suspense right up to, and including, the final sentence. I thought I'd be satisfied knowing who won, but no, you've teased us a bit more inagoodway with the misery remark - terrific six!!!

Great six! I like that the winner doesn't seem to gloat, and the way the defeat settles on the loser. Very intriguing.
