I've posted excerpts from Edge of Mercy on my other blog, but this novel will be released at the end of this month, so here are six more sentences from the story. If you want to read earlier snippets or the flash fiction piece I published, you can find them here (from last week on this blog), here and here. Otherwise, let's get to the good stuff. This is a short but tense scene early in the book when this small group of survivors are under attack:
He pulled one of my hands free from my ear and asked, “It’s worse than before, right?”
Before? Before what? Before tonight? Before I stumbled through the community gate? Before the world turned to blood, survival, and hiding at night, always hiding at night?Read more Six Sentence Sundays here, or sign up to participate next week. Hope you have an enjoyable Sunday.
