One sentence from your works in progress? Man, I wonder if the abandoned ones count. Nothing like a fic meme to get you feeling guilty about what you haven’t been doing lately.
Anyway:
-The first time Alice’s entire family was murdered, the citizens of Henderson, Nevada mounted a full-scale search effort for her.
-But while the shining jewelry was catching, Largo was always riveted by her eyes—a strange, citric orange, with slitted pupils, eyes that suggested something not altogether human.
- Something had to be done to get inside the mind of the entity, just as it was now getting inside the brain—a strangely shaped brain, like an animal’s, but with extra layers of complexity.
- I considered pointing out that wanting to be driven insane wasn’t exactly all that sane to begin with, but he went on.
- She didn’t respond much to my prods, except to answer my questions or to calmly volunteer “That’s really painful.”
-“When this whole thing plays out, I’m gonna shrink your head and keep it around just to remember what fun you were!”
Now I’d better get back to one of those. Now that most of the mucus has cleared out of my skull, maybe I’ll be able to make sense again.
