Introduction…

Some of y’all wanted a snippet from the story I’m writing…so here it is…it’s very short…but it’s the opening paragraph…and it’s likely the only part that’s pretty much set in stone…I’ve worked on this little piece quite a bit and I’m very happy with it…If I know you…I’ve likely shared it with you already…and if you’re on Ydubs and you’ve read the snippets on there you’ve read it…but if not…I hope you enjoy a little peek into WtTB…

The Snippet…

He’s not here. Blake said he’d be here. Why isn’t he here? I fall to my knees. Blood sticking to my pants. I look around the room. Empty except for the bodies on the floor and a couple of chairs. But no Lucian. Why would Blake lie to me? Where’s Lucian? He should be here. I feel my cheeks become wet as tears stream down my face. I barely feel the knives slip out of my hands as I stare at the wall trembling. Where is he? I look down at my hands. Thin and bony, covered in blood. They’re shaking. Where is he? Screaming. It takes me a few seconds to realize that I’m the one making the noise. But I can’t stop. Where is he? It translates into my screams. Where is he? Sirens. Blue and red lights shining through the window. Where is he? Someone slams the door open. I’m still screaming. The room begins to spin. Where is he? My breath comes in fast. I feel hands on my arms pulling me up. My eyes dart around. I see police officers. My screaming has begun to die. Breathe out fast. Why are they here? The officer behind me is speaking words I can’t hear over my running thoughts. Where is he? He should be here. Why isn’t he here? The officer cuffs my hands and begins to walk me out. Now I’m aware. “No! Wait!” I scream “You can’t take me! I need to find him! He’s supposed to be here!” My breathing only gets faster. My words get weaker. “Wait! Plea--” Dark.

Conclusion…

Well…I hope y’all enjoyed that…please let me know what you thought…if you’re one of those people who know me who’ve already read this and you wanted a different snippet…just ask…I’ll send you more…but on here I prefer not to share the crappy writing and scenes that will change a bit(or a lot) in editing…those are embarrassing…anyway…I hope all y’all have a beautiful day!
