Eight Sentence Sunday #7

I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. I have some lines from 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!

Zheng's first step sucked the heat out of her bones. This is the place that her daughter had been for the last three years, and this was the place where she was missing. Yet with this feeling of foreboding filling her soul, the area seemed so full of life.

People took their luggage and rushed to their final destination. Some went to the undocking platform below to pick up large deliveries. While families welcomed back their loved ones with hugs and kisses.

The thing that should be happening between her and 22 right now.

She bit her lip to stop herself from crying, it wouldn't help. Investigation, observation, questioning, those are what would save her daughter-if there was a chance for her to be saved. She took a deep breath, steeling herself, then took the next step into the dome, following the others.

The story is going to get a lot more intriguing and chilling before it's done!
