Six Sentence Sunday Feb 20
This week, some more from Darkness at Dawn. I might be brave enough next week to share something from my current WIP. We’ll see. This is from later in the story, where they meet again:
After a moment, he said, “If you promise not to attack me, I promise not to shoot you.” A promise from a nasty couldn’t mean anything, but still, he wanted to trust her.
She smiled. Whatever other weapons she might have, he thought that smile was her most dangerous. “If you promise not to shoot me, I promise not to attack you.”
His lip twitched, wanting to smile.

Awesome dialogue and description!

Very smart 6
Hi Devin. This is my first time hitting your Sunday Six. Loved your excerpt. Dangerous smiles can be the most disarming weapon of all. Love their banter and his uneasy grin.
Can you tell me what subgenre this story falls in? I’m intrigued!
Heh. Love the rivalry
I like her already! Great six!
Nice pair. Tit for tat (so to speak). And I LOVE that he thinks her smile is her most dangerous weapons. Excellent.
@Laurie A. Green — it’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi with monsters. 🙂 My Hollywood pitch would be “Romeo and Juliet meets Resident Evil”.
I like the “smile as weapon” analogy. Great six!
Great six! You captured some fabulous tension between the two.
A dangerous couple…great six!
Stalemate!
Stalemate over what? What were they fighting about?
Sounds like a fun couple.
He’s too cool, thinking her smile is dangerous! 😉
lol, Great lines. Sounds like they are at a stalemate.
He he he, great impasse! Who’s going to give in first? 🙂
“If you promise not to shoot me, I promise not to attack you.” -hmm wonder what happens next?
Great six. 🙂
Ah, SFR. You said the magic letters. 🙂 Thanks. I hope you’ll be posting more.
Well that exchange says they are destined for each other, for sure! Great six

Vibe, serious vibe, and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from, but these two have chemistry. This one jumps the page-to-brain barrier as if it weren’t even there.
