Six Sentence Sunday: Dire Straits


From Deathhawk’s Betrayal:
Gavalon forced her teeth apart; the funnel invaded her mouth. Astarl choked on the sudden gush of liquid, coughed, and swallowed reflexively. Feebly, she sprayed out half a mouthful, then choked on a fresh flood. She thrashed again, redoubling her efforts.
Her elbow connected. Gavalon grunted, his grip easing for a moment.

Well written struggle;  I could visualize it.  :-)  Nice six.

Very vivid. Great six.

Goran said...

That is a great scene. Very clearly written I could really picture what was going on. Astarl isn't going to take that kind of abuse without a fight. Great six.

Creepy and vivid. Excellent six!

Oh no.  That sounds horrible!  Great six.  :)

Excellent, you're invested! Don't get too comfy though...

I agree with Amy. very intense six. I'm also going to have a little time to read your short story this week. It's been crazy lately. I miss not having a job sometimes. Sad, I know. 

Ciara Ballintyne said...

Thanks Amberr. Appreciate all your time. As you know, I'm on holidays anyway and even now I don't have enough time for everything so I commiserate!
