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.

    Very intense six! I was relieved when her "elbow connected"!

    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.

    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.

    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!
