For APRIL A-Z 2012, I decided on a single theme. In fact, it's a single story, broken into 26 bite-sized chunks of precisely 100 words. Each day's instalment begins using a word starting with the current letter of the alphabet and ends with a word commencing with the letter for the following day.
I hope you like it enough to look in each day and follow the story.....!

'APPROACHING ZERO' Part 11 - '...kneeling'
…kneeling with her back to him.
“A gentleman would turn his gaze,” she said, lightly, as she struggled out of her blouse. The absurd propriety of the situation made her smile.
He didn’t answer but the rasping breaths from behind snatched the smile from her lips. She pulled her jacket back on and bundled up the discarded garment and turned back to face him.
His eyes were dull and lifeless in response.
“Jack? Look at me?” Grasping his jaw she turned his face sharply towards her. “Don’t you dare die on me!” She slapped his face, stirring him into life….
…..to be continued!
That's so neat - I love that theme. And I like the name of your blog. Thanks for coming by mine!
ReplyDeleteJack better not bite it before the end of this story. I want to know what his deal is.
ReplyDeleteReally like the idea, looking forward to the next segment! Blessings, Amanda
