Hi Everyone!
This is my second time with the Weekend Writing Warriors. I'm sharing my 8 sentences from one of my current WIPs, The Voyage of the Inara Marue.
A voice I hadn't heard before entered my field of hearing. I
tried to lick my lips and found that I couldn't because there was no moisture
available. The crowd parted and sitting where Alvarez normally sat was the
prettiest man I had even seen in my life. I shook my head, pretty was the wrong
word, handsome was the word for a man. "What -- it's -- it's like I'm becoming
scrambled. The words -- the words -- the words don't match any more." I
realized just how little control I had over this new technology. If I had been
given full control I might be able to understand what was going on better.
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

I think you portray her confusion very effectively with the word problems she's having...quite an intriguing concept for this story and an excellent excerpt.
ReplyDeleteMen can most definitely be pretty...and in a very sexy eat 'em up kind of way : )
ReplyDeleteShe seems very confused, I wonder how she will overcome this. When she discover the extend of the changes she might be shocked.
