Hi
everyone!
This is my first time ever with the Weekend Writing Warriors. I’m
sharing my 8 sentences from one of my current WIPs, The Voyage of the Inara
Marue.
I can't remember the last time I cried. Maybe it was the day they told me I would die. Maybe it was the day they told me I would become
something no person had ever been before. Maybe…maybe…I should just forget
about the when and worry about the why. Or maybe I shouldn't as I'm sure they
would analyze the whole notion of me crying until there was nothing left to
analyze.
But right now, I look at them through pried open eyes while my
chin is in my chest, watching their every move with my enhanced eyesight and
wonder if they even know or understand just what they have created. I don't
even think they know I'm watching them. I know they are nervous…maybe
that's not quite the right word…paranoid would be a better word choice.
This
novel is a sci-fi with romantic elements and is about a woman who was modified
without her permission. Her modifications are many, like limbs, eyes and
nanites flowing through her body. She was built for a special mission but those
in power at the military want her for something very different.
Hope
you enjoyed my Sunday 8.
Thanks
and see you next time!
