Today I'm going to post from my newest release, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, my first horror story. Don't forget to see who else is participating, and read their sexy snippets here
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, now at Muse
Lightning sliced across the night sky
like a jagged scar. It briefly illuminated the countryside, throwing
twisted-limbed trees into momentary sharp relief. The thick ripe foliage of
summer was long gone, and the land was left naked in the barrenness of winter.
Several heartbeats later followed the thunder, a dull drumming in the
background of the heavens that steadily increased in volume with each
repetition.
The horse was skittish and pulled
against the reins at the sound, but its rider pressed a reassuring hand against
its heaving flank and it grew still once more; the clop of its hoofs echoed
eerily in the momentary peace between the waves of sound. A second steed stood
beside the first; it, too, pawed the ground in disquiet, its ears flattened
against its head, expressive of its disapproval.
Welcome Julie! *waves* Great snippet, very descriptive. I can see the horses pawing the ground and the approaching storm...
