Welcome to Six-Sentence Sunday!
This week I present to you another Six-Sentence Excerpt from BLACK SCARS, Book 2 in the Blood Skies series. Enjoy! =D
Just as before, death and silence waited for him. Floating silver flames and dead white snakes slithered through the air around the pale and rune-marked stone. Vampire eyes watched him from the dark stadium seats, calm and hungry. They never moved when the gladiators were present, but Cross could tell that they were anxious, and that they hungered for blood. He knew that the vampires fed on the fallen when the fighting was done, and that was why the arena floor was never cleaned between battles. That floor was immaculate when the gladiators arrived, but soon it would be covered in thick pools of blood and steaming flesh.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to head on over to Six Sunday and check out the other participating authors!
Is it odd that I REALLY liked that last sentence? “Steaming Flesh” Nice Six!
then i’m odd, too, Carrie Ann! great–gross–visual!
Excellent descriptions.
Thank you, all!
I’m pretty sure I was thinking about dinner when I wrote that last line. Which really just makes it even more icky…LOL
Like the silver flames and the dead white snakes, really a GREAT excerpt!
Love the idea of vampires and gladiatorial battles!
@Veronica: Thank you, I’m a big fan of creepy things that glow in the dark. =D
@Monica: Thanks! I hadn’t seen it done yet, so it seemed like a good way to go. =D
Hello Steven! Love the six! I hope you’re having a great Sunday!
I loved this! A great piece of descriptive writing, thanks for sharing.
Eeeeewwww… So visual! Great piece of writing, though, even though vampires aren’t really my thing. But you put me right there in the arena. Thanks for sharing!
Jeez, that’s intense!
Thank you for stopping by, everyone — now I’ve go do some Six-Sentence Reading of my own! =D
