This week I'm feeling random so I'm sharing a snippet from a WIP, Thunder Mountain(working title). It's a near future SFR in which contaminated asteroids have wrecked havoc. Set on a guest ranch in western Montana
The three dread-locked individuals working on the van appeared to be related. Golden dreadlocks, golden brown skin, thin wiry bare arms. As Bleach got close he was startled to see that all three had whiskey gold eyes framed in dark lashes, and all three glared at him like cornered wolverines. Two were young men, the third was a young woman. They were from Texas, according to their license plates. Not accustomed to Montana neighborliness, for sure.
“Hey folks. Anything I can do to help?”
“Can we see your arms?” The young girl spoke, her tone terse. All three looked wary, dangerous.

Why we they want to see his arms? Intriguing!
ReplyDelete'Can we see your arms?' Strange request. Intrigued!
ReplyDeleteNot such a strange request, if they're wanting to make sure he's not armed. I've got a bad feeling about this.
ReplyDeleteArms as in limbs, or as in weapons? Hehe...interesting. Got me curious now...
ReplyDeleteArms? Yep. I'm curious. That's an interesting question. I'm guessing they're from Texas like the Coneheads are from France.
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet!
I'm sure they're very nice people. This is all some simple misunderstanding. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the arms show signs of infection. Either that, or they want to see guns.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they just have a thing for arms...
ReplyDeleteAn interesting snippet...I figured Bleach (an interesting name for someone from Montana) would answer by pulling out dual pistols. :-)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Gayle said! I was intrigued immediately.
ReplyDeleteOoo, what are they expecting to see?!
ReplyDeleteContaminated asteroids? I love it already. Hmm, do they have an arm fetish, or is this something far more sinister?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. So what does seeing the arms determine?
ReplyDeleteI grew up in MT and baby sat for a guy named Bleach. White blond hair. Lots of Scandinavian blonds in NW Montana.
ReplyDeleteLots of tall blond Scandinavian descendants in NW Montana! I baby sat for a guy nicknamed Bleach.
