Thanks for stopping by to check out my writing! This week I am bringing you my current WIP. It is from a book that I titled, "The Willow". Today's excerpt is a part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme (also known as 8 Sentence Sunday).
“Dammit,
girl!” Ben called out as he threw the pitchfork down to the ground
and lunged towards me. “You scared the shit out of me. Why in the
hell are you creeping up on people?” He grabbed my
arms and pulled me upwards to examine my injury. “Damn,” he
muttered under his breath.
“Stop! Let go
of me,” I cried out, trying to forcefully shove him away with the
heels of my palms. Each movement I made only made him hold on
tighter.
“You're
bleeding.” He kept his hands wrapped around my upper arms, ignoring
my protests and squirms. He didn't back down.
“Get away from
me!” I lifted my knee and kicked at him.
“Will you hold
still?” he yelled sternly.
I froze, looking
up at him with wide eyes.
“Christ,” he
muttered in annoyance.
Again, thank you for stopping by. Your support is greatly appreciated.
