This weekend’s RainbowSnippets installment features a character in the throes of a nightmare. I hope my words convey his despair and his partner’s helpless witness.
Story:
The bleating of a wounded
lamb woke me. Bolting upright, I looked
to my side.
to my side.
Nickolas continued to drowse.
His eyelids twitched, hand clutching the sheet higher beneath his chin. His
head jerked, a minute move sounding loud with all that hair sliding over the
sheets. Taking a shallow breath, letting out a less pained bleat, he stilled.

DeleteGreat snippet. Is this available or a WIP?
ReplyDeleteNeither. ~blush~ I'm not ready to share my series with the world yet. There are just so many mean souls out there. Thank you for not being one of them! And Happy Writing, my dear.
DeleteGreat writing, as always.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind. Thank you, my dear.
DeleteAw, this tugs at the heartstrings!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so, my dear.
DeleteIf he was asleep I don't guess he was counting sheep?
ReplyDeleteNot so much. ~grin~ Thank you for the kind visit!
DeleteUh oh...
ReplyDeleteYou're so kind to comment on such an esoteric post. ~grin~ Be well!
DeleteWhat was he dreaming? And do we get to see the other MCs reaction next?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I wonder what he was dreaming (But of course my twisted brain heard Lector talking to Starling about the lambs...)
