I got tagged by
aragarna for this meme – the task is to pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP and then tag seven other writers. I’m not sure who has been tagged already, but if anyone on my flist wants to play too, I’m hereby tagging them :)
After just posting my RBB I wasn’t sure I had a WIP with seven pages until I remembered this story that I’ve been meaning to finish for a while:
Acting on instinct, Sara reaches into her purse before she realizes she has neither her gun nor her baton. She curses Britain’s paranoid weapon laws and instead quietly pulls out an umbrella from the nearby stand. She should call the police – and maybe the alcohol in her veins is still influencing her actions, because she might just be about to get herself killed – she presses her back against the wall as she carefully moves inside –
There is someone sitting in her armchair.
Sara’s breath gets caught in her throat.
