Welcome back!
This week
is our picture prompt week and all posts must be 300 words or under and reflect
the chosen image. Today we have a snippet from Deep Edge, Harrisburg Railers #3, which I’m coauthoring with Rj
Scott. In this excerpt, Trent gets his first peek at the Railers, who he’ll be
filming a reality show with.
Thanks so much for
dropping by!
We could hear them talking. I
peeked around the corner and saw them all gathered in a corridor. Eleven or
twelve of them. Thirteen if you counted a leaner man with dark hair who didn’t
look like be belonged among the troop. A baker’s dozen of them waiting for me
to arrive so the torment could begin. Why had the week gone so quickly? I’d
been trying to drag it out but it marched on without a care for Trent. Time was
a puffy-faced sow. I should have ignored that stupid alarm clock and hidden in my
bed all day.
I pulled back from the corner
and looked right at my agent. Her nose was pink from the cold in the ice rink.
I loved her little puffy teal jacket and made a mental note to ask later about where
she’d gotten it.
“Are we sure we don’t want
Jane Goodall in the leading role of this show?”
Gayle gave me a withering
look. She was quickly perfecting that expression. It would serve her well.
Damn. I should have worn one of my tiaras just to twist some nipples. Not that
what I had pulled on wouldn’t get things rolling as soon as the simians laid
eyes on me. Had Trent dressed to stir things up? Oh yes, Trent had.
I’d gone with the anime look
for the day. Colored and teased hair, lined eyes which don’t count because I
line my eyes daily, skin tight blue leggings under a short, flouncy kilt of
green, blue, all topped with a tight blue and white sweater. Oh, and bright
blue hiking boots and a few dozen bangles on each wrist.
“They
look like very nice young men,” Gayle sagely replied.
