Hi and welcome to this week's Eight sentences. Today I am continuing with eight from my new release, 'Fevered Kisses' an anthology of lust. This week I am continuing from last week and fifth story 'Some Time Away'.
MY EIGHT:
Would anyone
even realise that she hadn’t arrived? Certainly not Robert, he was out tonight
at a brewery’s meeting. At least she thought that was what he had mumbled this
morning just before closing the front door. Nobody would be home tonight; Danny
and Amy were with their father.
Somebody sounded
their horn at her, for goodness sake, do they really want me to move the three
feet that had just become available? With a sigh Melanie eased the Mercedes
just enough to close the gap, avoiding glancing in the rear view mirror in case
she was tempted to tell the idiot behind her where to put himself.
The car was warm. A breeze of humid air from outside
seeped slowly through the open vents.

Doesn't sound like she's heading home...where is she going?
ReplyDeleteWhere is she headed? Home? Her thoughts about Robert not being there and the kids with there father makes me think maybe, but she was talking about being late in the last snippet so maybe not.
ReplyDeleteHmm...was the horn really someone being impatient? Or was it someone she knows? :-) Good snippet, Gemma. Excellent descriptive writing. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou pulled me right into the scene, Gemma. And then the horn. An omen or a random sound.
ReplyDeleteWondering who is honking and if it is significant. That's the problem with only eight sentences!
ReplyDeleteTension and maybe a little anticipation with a definite flavor of anxiety. Very emotional package with out ever saying "she felt..." Great writing!
ReplyDeleteI think she should look in the mirror. You've done a great job of capturing her mood!:)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by her mood and the honking behind her. I think you can omit "the car was warm". It's telling and you've shown warmth with the humidity seeping through the vents.

ReplyDeleteThis makes me wonder if there is something suspicious about the guy honking behind him.

People can be so unreasonable when they're behind the wheel. It's like their courtesy turns off, and their aggression is tripled. I can really feel--and relate to--her frustration.
ReplyDeleteI hate traffic. I wonder what else might happen before she gets to where she's going.
