Friday Snippet Meme


 


For a change of pace - and because as I read through parts of Stone Spies it makes me shudder at how utterly crappy it is - I've decided to post the opening scene from one of my WIP's, SPORE.

So, anyway, this is how it opens. It's short, VERY short. :)

SPORE
Part 1 - Seeding
Chapter 1
Scene 1

Three naked people stumbled out of the corn onto drenched grass. They were confused and disoriented, having no idea how they had stepped from cornfield to a dandelion speckled lawn behind a tidy ranch-style home, or even where they were. The morning sun rose behind them, pushing their shadows toward the house, while faint mist rose from the corn and turned last night's rain into July humidity. A low buzzing filled their ears, like static on a weak radio channel, but it faded away leaving only the breeze and birdsong behind.

One woman, the youngest, hesitated then broke into a run for the house.
