Hi
everyone!
This
week is my seventh time with the Weekend Writing Warriors. Here’s 8 sentences
from one of my current WIPs, The Voyage of the Inara Marue.
"Without
a doubt. He was actually in our unit in the war." She leveled her gaze on
him. "If truth be told, he was the one who sacrificed me to the IED god.
He wasn't one of your nicer soldiers. He should have been a defendant in some
of the abuse trials that took place after the first wave. I actually thought he
was dead and that was why he wasn't listed on any roster when I finally got
around to reading the court transcripts."
He
knew his shock registered on his face when he heard her chuckle.
This is a sci-fi novel with romantic elements. The
story is about a woman who was physically and genetically modified without her
permission. The modifications are extensive and include eyes, limbs and
nanotechnology in the form of nanites flowing through her. She was built for a
special mission but those in power at the military want her for something very
different and it’s not for the good of mankind. She has to fight not only for
herself but the whole of mankind.
Hope you
enjoyed my Sunday 8. Please go check out the other WeWriWa authors this week,

Love the line, 'sacrificed to the IED gods'. Great use of the 8's.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice guy. He sacrificed her, time for pay back!
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great story going here.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in her feeling about all of this: she's got a lot to deal with and if it was me, I don't think I could be as level-headed as her :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the tidbits you keep giving us. so much happened to her and now they plan to use her for worse things
ReplyDeleteSuch an intriguing story. I just really want to read the entire thing. Her laugh at that exact point in time is a bit chilling inagoodway - excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteWell, there's a little more head-hopping here than I'd like. I was really jarred by the last sentence. But the premise is really intriguing and the dialogue (monologue?) is extremely good. Keep it up!
