This is my snippet this week for SFFSat. SFFSat is a place where a number of authors post snippets from their written works, and give the opportunity for comments, support and encouragement. Please also explore the other blogs that are part of this group - you can find the information here.
When we last saw Tal, a demon was trying to kill him. It isn't giving up...
Another lunge, another attempt to carve its name
in my stomach. Two narrow red lines appeared, as if by magic, on my
tunic. This was a good tunic, too – I snarled an objection, but the
demon really wasn't interested.
No way I was getting out of this. I
was facing a glorathnar. Tenacious, tough, ruthless, and they didn't
give up. Whoever had sicced this upon me wanted me dead.
Common sense said I should give up, let it
slaughter me cleanly. At least it would be quick and relatively
painless. Glorathnars aren't sadists, not like some of their ilk.
Whoever had summoned this had picked a demonic assassin quite
considerately.
Most of my ex-girlfriends will tell you I have no
common sense. I wasn't going to give up quietly. I would go down
fighting.
As always, comments welcomed! The bad news is that this is the last snippet from Impcatcher I'm going to put up for a while - so if you want to know how Tal gets out of this, you'll have to read the book!
Tal in good form!
ReplyDeleteWill you move on t a sequel?
The sequel - Street Demons - is part-written. Don't hold your breath - it's some way from being finished.
DeleteNo hero worth his salt would go quietly. This one is on my TBR pile and I cannot wait to get to it!
ReplyDeleteYou can't keep a good hero down, that's my motto. Tal would agree but he's being pinned down by a demon...
