Six Sentence Sunday  12/30/12

12/29/2012

17 Comments

 
Greetings, fellow Sixers!  Thank you so much for coming to visit today, and for coming to visit last Sunday as well.  I'm happy to report that most of my family is much better.  Husband and I are still pretty wiped out from all the illness, but mostly good.  The final member of our family may be coming down with it (no! he had the flu shot! it's not fair!) or maybe he isn't.  Time will tell.

Anyway...last week's Six Sentences got such a great response that I thought this time I'd just pick up where they left off.  That and my random scrolling put me in the middle of mindless ramblings of a blocked writer, and I wasn't about to share six sentences of that.



          The queen hardly drew breath.  The king himself remained riveted on
the combat.
          This cannot go on for much longer, Graciela thought desperately, certain that every moment spelled her betrothed’s injury or defeat, yet equally certain that every moment also held his triumph.  She did not try to understand the contradiction in her mind.  There was no time to consider, to ponder, there was only her knight locked in struggle on the field.  Her Anton.



That's my six for this time.  Next week I'll share Katarina's thoughts, or you know, something else.  See you around visiting all the other awesome Sixers!

Kate

The tension is still terrific---and her conflict is well-written and totally understandable. Excellent six!

I hope your last family member standing stays upright, Kate---maybe it's just sympathy congestion?

You've captured the tension of watching combat; a lover in danger. Terrific six!
Happy New Year.

Wonderful conflict -- and I'm intrigued to see what's next. I'm glad that the illness is finally leaving your house. Hope it does so without getting the last family member in its grips!

Watching when your betrothed was one of the men would be so horribly difficult. =c( Glad to know you guys are feeling better. I hope the holdout, um, held out. LOL. Seems the only time my kids get the flu is when they've had the darn shot. I only got it for my 2yo this year and darn if she didn't spend the two weeks after congested and miserable. UGH. (Fortunately the other five didn't get sick then.) Enjoyed the six, Kate!
