Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. We each post 8-10 (I really wanted to go for 12, but I restrained myself) sentences. If you recall, Cassy was taking on a whole hoard of zombies.
My cockiness is my demise. I see something red in the distance as a monster bites into the side of my neck and I scream in pain and rage. My glasses are knocked from my head and I fall to my knees, everything going dark. I can’t die, there are too many people counting on me, too much to do. I don’t even know if Heph got the kids out.
***
My legs are wet. Why are my legs wet? I smell salt, and feel a breeze. Are there breezes in hell? I suppose I could be in heaven, but I doubt they’d take me.
You can purchase Never Say Die on most platforms or in paperback:
Amazon, Nook, Kobo, iBooks, paper.
Love the confusion raging. And absolutely adore the last line. :-)

Wow, I never expected her to get bitten! Intense indeed and now I can't wait to see what happens next. Well done snippet. On an admin note, I didn't find a link back to the WeWriWa site? Is it just me? Can you add one, please? :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow did she survive? Where is she? So many questions!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding snippet!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! What happened to Cassy? Did she turn? You definitely have me intriguing with this snippet! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope she's okay. Loved the last line.
ReplyDeleteOops. She's not dead, but is she undead?
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed her introspection on the prospect of death.
ReplyDeleteGreat scene! Heaven wouldn't take her. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the immediacy of it. We really get in her head.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bad situation if ever there was one. I'm intrigued, however, by the shift from the encounter with the zombie to a place with a salt breeze. Is she dreaming? Or was she dreaming about the zombie attack? Can't wait for next week!
ReplyDeleteWow, intense. I wonder what's next for her?
ReplyDeleteShe's bitten! I must know what happens next.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intense scene. Love the last line about heaven.
ReplyDeleteThe price of pride is steep! Well I hope that's not the afterlife, somehow...
ReplyDeleteWow, very intense snippet!
ReplyDeleteEep! What's going to happen to her now?
ReplyDeleteWhat an intense and intriguing snippet! Love the introspection and the thoughts going through her mind about the nature of her existence (or lack of it!)
ReplyDeleteExcellent snippet, Kimberly. I love being surprised. Clever cliff hanger, I can't wait till your next post
ReplyDeleteGreat line:My legs are wet. Why are my legs wet?
ReplyDeleteThis could mean pretty much anything but it had me laughing.
