Today's SSS comes from my current WIP, Destiny Bewitched (releases in June). In this scene, Geo and Samantha are about to fight their first battle in a supernatural version of gladiators. Enjoy!
Geo watched the barbaric crowd demand more flesh. Greedy faces all around them – merciless and cruel. They’d just love an encore of the long, painful death that preceded them.
“Give me strength, oh gods, that I might release your fury on these wicked souls,” he whispered then looked down at the small woman beside him.
With her eyes squeezed shut, she added, “And may the force be with us. Amen."
Love the last line! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like we've got a Star Wars fan here. She might just need the Force, in light of that long, painful death comment. I'm intrigued about what's going on here.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I wasn't drinking anything. I literally gigglesnorted over that last line. Well played!
ReplyDeleteWhew...what a powerful six...nice job!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud over the star wars reference! However, I bet he didn't get the quote at all, did he? Very nice six!
ReplyDeleteNice six! Love the Star Wars reference! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat six! (laughs)
