A few
days together before he leaves Farport Space Station— Odessa, a young
woman with a past, and Veras, a young man with a future.
Snippet:
“Odessa,” barked Mr. Collier.
Odessa looked at the man who never
liked her, feeling that useless,
helpless feeling of wanting approval.
She shrugged the feeling off, impatient with herself. She would
never fit into conventional society,
no point in wishing she could.
“You saw my son last night.”
“Yes, Sir, we had dinner at the
Bread Bowl.”
“I don’t want to deal with you
again.”

They must have a past. Very curious!
ReplyDeleteI think he'd better get used to the idea of dealing. Nice conflict, Melisse!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get the feeling that last sentence might be seen more as a challenge than an instruction? :) Good conflict.
ReplyDeleteWell, he seems unpleasant. Hope she can get over wanting his approval quickly- though I know the feeling. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell he's certainly curt and unfriendly, not to mention interfering! I don't like him, can you tell? Very effective snippet!
ReplyDeleteHooks the reader with questions. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat an abrupt dismissal!
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that Mr. Collier knows something of Odessa's past, which you hinted about.
ReplyDeleteA lot of information delivered in a few sentences, and it didn't feel like an infodump. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover! Sounds like he has just verbalized what she's probably thinking about now... Great snippet!
