Buffy's Ramblings

From EBA: What brought my thoughts to a halt was a change in the darkness. A tiny light, like looking at a single Christmas tree light or a firefly, hovered before me. I can’t tell how close it is. It is growing, or getting closer? It’s now the size of a baseball. Abruptly it explodes to reveal a tower of a man.

Once again from EBA. Potentially scary situation, then suddenly not so scary anymore... After dinner, we settled in to watch a movie. I usually need something to do like a word puzzle, a game on my phone, have munchies, or else I get bored and fall asleep. Sure enough, without anything else in front of me, I fell asleep half way through, and when my parents tried to wake me after the movie had ended, I became only semi-conscious. I could hear them speak to me, feel their gentle efforts, but could not respond for the life of me. I felt strange, heavy, like something was pressing me into stillness. Then I saw him in my minds eye, and forgot about everything else.

And it's Sunday again!  Here's another 6 from Earth Bound Angel: Breanne is sitting down eating lunch, when her potential new friend she's just attempted to give the brush off, sits down next to her and gives her an ear full... "Sure I could reach out to her, but I'd rather hang out with you.  While I feel for her, I'm concerned for you. Anyway, she's still got friends and the volleyball team.  Who do you have left?  Are you really going to tell me that you couldn't use just one friend right now?" I was tearing up at his words, and completely speechless.

We're back to Earthbound Angel!  This is a scene that popped in my head one day, and I vowed to put it in the book. I thought it was kinda funny, I hope y'all agree... Bree learning a bit about magic, with Rafe at her side. "Latin? Seriously? I can tell you and the world to Bite me in French, but I'm at a loss for Latin..." she says, shaking her head. "You can really say that in French?"  he asks, slightly impressed.  She rolls her eyes and looks down sheepishly. "Ok, so I should be able to say that, but French is not exactly my best subject...lay off," she huffs, crossing her arms. What do you think?

Also from Earthbound Angel book 1: The car has come to a stop upside down, and looking to my left, I see the truck that hit us several feet away. It’s a big truck. Amber is screaming in the back seat, which is good, right? At least it means she’s alive. Her mom is limp next to me though, and there’s blood dripping down her hair. “Oh, God” I whisper.

Alright, here's my very first Six Sentence Sunday!  Just be nice, this is still my very rough first draft! This is from book 1 of my Earthbound Angel series. Breanne is just getting home from school after a very strange day of being stalked by someone apparently no one else can see and keeps getting her into trouble... My mom greeted me the second I crossed the threshold, like always. I never make a lot of noise, and she’s in her office at the other end of the house, so how she always knows the second I’m home, I’ve never figured out. I suspect it’s just a mom thing, knowing when her baby is home safe. I walked back to say hello in person, and stumbled at what I found upon entering the room, catching myself noisily on the door frame. Standing just a few feet from her, facing the doorway, was the guy I’d been seeing all day. He looked grim and apologetic.
