You can find more Six Sentence Sunday writers here.Astarl stared, paralysed, while he held out his cloak. She’d heard of the Machaera, of his black reputation.A knife sat sheathed on his belt. Her fingers brushed its hilt and the next she knew his arm was around her neck, the blade at her throat. She hung limp in his grasp, struggling to make sense of what just happened.He was fast, though not as fast as she; rather, anticipating her move, he left himself recklessly, dangerously open to counter her.

I really am enjoying this story. Thank you kindly for sharing it.
Great snippet! I'll be back for more next week!
Great six. This story is really moving along.
oooh, she sees an opening, nice!
She's good at that. This time, though, Kain is one step ahead of her!
This bit is even almost at the end! As a matter of interest I just calculated it would take 228 years to tell this story in weekly 6 sentence snippets. Yes, I am a nerd...
That's what I love to hear. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you, I'm glad you took the time to say so :-)
Love the visuals here... the knife on the belt... the hilt of the knife. And not to mention the tension! Great six!

Not a huge fan of the names but once I got used to them I was very caught up in the action!
The scene is far more complicated than six sentences allow, it doesn't stand alone as well as I'd like, so I'm glad you found it effective.
I often find I'm so-so on the names when I read a new book and by the end of it they feel completely natural. Nice to hear the action caught you up :-)
