Welcome
to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Here, writers showcase their work
with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets.
This week, I’ll share a
scene from my new release, Grand Master’s Game, Book 2 in my series, Grand
Master’s Trilogy. In this series, the portal web is the main means for
interplanetary transport. But, the portal misdirected to an ice planet with a
toxic atmosphere.
Last week’s snippet can

“Hades!” he grunted. Quickly
checking that they were linked together, the Grand Master tapped his insert and
they flipped into the soundless void. To Violet’s amusement, Kondric’s mouth
had frozen open in a cry of shock. She and Athanor had slipped into their
customary half embrace.
They popped out beside the
teleportal cylinder in the central square of the main town of Avalon. Violet
inhaled the flower-scented air and relaxed. She wriggled out of her survival
suit.
“Avalon!” Kondric breathed in
relief, recognizing the quiet town with its thatched cottages hung with baskets
overflowing with bright flowers.
Now they are safe, for the moment, next week I'll try a different story.

DeleteI definitely prefer the idea of Avalon!
ReplyDeleteI love how uncomfortable Kondric is, and how practiced Violet and the Grand Master are.
Yes, Avalon is a beautiful planet.
