I'm stepping up to Cambria Dillon's challenge...
Here are the rules:
- Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript (or I guess if you have 777 pages, that’d work, too)
- Go to line 7
- Copy down the next 7 lines/sentences AS THEY ARE. No cheating/editing/tweaking/weaving magical word spells!
- Tag 7 other authors

“How come Will
isn’t helping you?” I shout over the sound of the engine and sneak a look at
the mud drying on his calf. “How deep is it stuck?”
We hit a root in
the path, and the cart lurches to the side. I’m thrown to my left and my arm
brushes his. I’m sure if we weren’t racing down the fairway as though both our
lives depended on it, I might have enjoyed the contact. Even so, my heart rate
speeds up. Though that could be my fight or flight reaction to the ride of death.
“You okay?” He
reaches out to steady me, but he doesn’t slow down***
I'm tagging:
Katy Upperman
Alicia Gregoire
Heather Kelly
Jonathon Arnston
Theresa Milstein
Kelly Polark
Joyce Shor Johnson

Ooh...I love how we get an immediate sense of place and urgency in just 7 lines. Nicely done! And so glad you played!
Thanks for the tag and the sneak peek of your story, Kris!! :)
