Six Sentence Sunday April 17
Emma’s first magic lesson gets a little out of control:
She looked down at it and thought about it moving, shifting and rising just with her thought. The dark power inside her hummed with an eagerness that made her nervous, but she kept going. She imagined that power coming out of her and lifting the sand. A flutter she thought at first was the wind went around her and shifted the sand. Then the area she’d been concentrating on lifted in a spinning whirl. A small tornado of sand almost as tall as her formed, pulling up more and more sand around it.

Oo, loved this! A magic lesson! Hope it doesn’t go out of control, lol.
Can she control it? That’s the question I have now. Great job!
Ooooh, earth magic! I remember dust devils from Arizona, they are pretty powerful.
Wouldn’t that be awesome to have that kind of power!
Kind of like a first driving lesson…Will her teacher have to hit the brakes? Or will she continue to build her tornado of sand until it’s completely out of control?
Great description. Love this line especially: “The dark power inside her hummed with an eagerness that made her nervous, but she kept going. “
Vivid writing!
Yes, very vivid. I can absolutely picture the sand funnel and feel the surprise… and want to read more. Great.
Love the six. Hope she can get her magic under control.
Wonderful, vivid description.
Interesting look into her world & magic.
I want that power. You described it so well I found myself concentrating on the sand too. Great six!
tee-hee! Will she manage it or should her teacher intervene? 😉
Great six!
Sounds like fun to me. Where do I sign up for these lessons.

First introduction to power… like learning to wiggle your ears: awkward and fun and obsessive.
