Six Sentence Sunday, Dec 4 (Not My Apocalypse)

December 04, 2011 By: Devin Harnois Category: Uncategorized

I won my 5th straight NaNoWriMo with this crazy romp of a story. In this six, Alex fights with his father (the devil):

He hit me so hard I heard my ears ringing and I tasted blood in my mouth. “You will obey me, no matter how many times I have to beat it into you.”

“Cause that’s worked so well before.” It hurt to talk through my busted mouth, but it was worth it. He growled and I kicked out at him again, trying to aim higher. I missed his balls but I connected with his hip.

    Instead of “beating the devil out of him” it looks as if just the opposite is the order of the day. Intriguing six for sure.

    Brief as this is, it has the gritty feel of the real thing. I’m wincing along with him. Yes, this works so well… to cement the defiance.

    Aiming for the balls is always an excellent tactic, lol. Well done!

    Love your voice. I like Alex already–his comeback is fantastic, and you do a great job with the descriptions. Not too much, just enough :) Thanks for the great, if brief, read!
