EXCERPT, Stranded on Grzbt:
Mimi woke on a hard metal floor, shoulders and back aching. A rancid, rotten odor rushed into her nose, making her gag. It wiped out any drowsiness. “What is that stench?” It was like sewer mixed with rotten meat. She leaped up with a groan, only to bang her head on heavy wire and fall on her butt.
She sat in a cage made of thick wire, welded to the metal floor. Two other women were awake, staring. A Goth teen girl was unconscious on the floor.
That is quite the situation to wake up to!
ReplyDeleteDramatic beginning for sure!
ReplyDeleteOk - that's an opening that grabs your attention.

That's a situation you don't want to wake up to. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteReally pulled me in! It doesn't look good. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe last time I woke up to a horrible stench, it was my own vomit, and I was a metalhead teenage girl. Unfortunately, it took me a good 17 more years to finally learn from the incident.
