Six Sentence Sunday, September 25 (Erik’s Tale)
I started editing Erik’s Tale and I’m falling in love with it all over again. Here’s another taste, from chapter 1:
“Who’s there?”
Caution told him to stay quiet, to go back into the labyrinth under the Opera House and let her think it was her imagination. He heard himself whisper, “Don’t be afraid.”
The girl looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. “Where are you?”
“I am … watching.”
Check out snippets from other authors at Six Sentence Sunday.
Great snippet, and a great beginning to the story. A lot happens in six lines, and the fact that “caution told him to be quiet” but he talked anyway says a lot about the character.
Intriguing six! Well done. I will be back for more answers. Thank you.
Oh, opera houses hold so much intrigue!
I love fan fiction. It’s only six lines, but looks like a twist on Phantom. Erik is very intriguing.
So much longing conveyed in so few sentences. It’s great that you’re rediscovering your book as you edit. 🙂
Very ‘phantom of the opera’, …decidedly creepy… BEAT THE STALKER AND RUN AWAY!!!
