Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Thanks again to everyone who stops by each week! All comments are welcome and appreciated!
I couldn't decide what to post this week, but I just completed my current WIP and decided to take this week's six from it. I got about three quarters through this thing and got stuck. It took me a while to realize that I was stuck because the beginning I'd written no longer meshed with where the book had ended up. So I had to revise the first four chapters. I love where the new beginning ended up, so I've decided to share that.
“Anything you’d like to say to me?”Stacy Bennett froze solid in her apartment doorway. On the other side of the threshold stood the last man on earth she wanted to see.

The six sentence requirement makes for an awkward stopping point. I'll post more next week! Don't forget to stop by the Six Sunday website and take a gander at all the other fabulous snippets!

Great opening. You grabbed me. I'd definitely keep reading to find out more.
ReplyDeleteNice one. I like where you end here. It would be good as a chapter end, but would also work well as a scene end in mid-chapter. Very nice six
