Another weekend come and gone. They go by so quickly sometimes. Here's another snippet for Weekend Writing Warriors. All of us participating share 8-10 sentences to give you a taste of our writing.
"Well, child, I have finished for another night. Continue to make the most of what you have been given."
Was that an answer to the question that plagued her today and every day Prince Louis pressed himself on her? Was Eve to take a great leap that would vault her from one world to the other?

Make the most of what she had been given.
Continues to be a very interesting story going on here...enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNicely done. I felt her emotions.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad.
DeleteGotta love when someone gives advice that is so vague. Leaves so much up to interpretation. Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteYeah, frustrating, but sometimes mind blowing.
DeleteHmm. I suspect that those words of 'advice' have set something unexpected into motion. Splendid snippet, Kimberly
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe High One's words could be prophetic.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are!
DeleteI'm anxious to see exactly how she's going to do this!
ReplyDeleteYou won't wait long!
DeleteDefinitely a comment that is open to interpretation. Sounds like it might be spurring her to do something dangerous.
ReplyDeleteSounds like good advice to me.
ReplyDeleteMake the most of what she'd be given - that could go so many different ways. Interesting place to leave us.
ReplyDeleteTweeted.
Interesting snippet. I like how you left us to figure out exactly what was going on.
ReplyDeleteNow we have to figure out what she meant by that last line.
ReplyDeleteIt's easier to make the most of it when you're given a lot and not a little... but I have the feeling her determination will see her through!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daryl's comment; this can go in many directions. Nice way to end that snippet.
ReplyDeleteNot as easy a task as it may seem... great conflict!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh! Things are about to get interesting!!
ReplyDeleteDecisions, decisions. How is she going to take that advice? Keep us guessing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe devil or...Hard to decide in her circumstances.
