Eight Sentence Sunday #2

1/21/2017

8 Comments

 
I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. For my very first #8Sunday post on this website I have the first eight lines of the second scene of my Moon Murder rewrite. The first scene is available as an audio sample on my sample chapters page if you want to give it a listen!

“That’s pretty quick,” Alexander said while taking a seat on the couch. “You two should sit near the window. There’s nothing like watching the landscape of the moon pass by for the first time.”

“Pretty quick? They didn’t even announce when we would be arriving at the research center.”

“They probably don’t know. They’re notoriously bad at keeping to a schedule even when they have one. A negative to having only one train.”

Sounds like the beginning of a cool SF tale.

I love the detail that even with one train they don't run on time. Interesting excerpt!

Interesting that the lone train doesn't run on time. Sounds like Amtrak! :-)

Makes you wonder what else is on "whenever" time. Nice snippet.
