I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. Changing it up a little bit. This week I have a bit I wrote for a writing exercise a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure if it'll grow into a full story, we'll see! The cold air burned her face. She shouldn't have agreed to this freezing ordeal. Sophie stands up and jogs in place in front of the door of the great wall. Wishing for a fire is a waste of time, but there is nothing else to do. There is no way to stay positive in this wretched cold. Guidelines say that she has to stay out here for a week, just as the hero did in the chronicles. But she is no hero and she knows it. Why should she, a normal person, be expected to perform a hero's act? Stay in the winter cold without a fire or even anything to do. Waiting. Check out more at http://www.wewriwa.com/.

Let's hope she isn't forced to stay in the cold for an entire week.

Fascinating snippet, really raises good questions on all kinds of issues about why this person is there and what's going to happen next, and makes me want to keep reading.

Lovely snippet. The two sentences are in a different tense than the rest. Not positive if that was intentional. I can see it for the second, but less for the first.

Great excerpt and I can really see the potential for a good story in this - I agree about the change of tense though, threw me a bit.

Exercise for next weekend? Shannon Yseult will finish this story (or Shan Jeniah might hog the coffeepot)...
