This morning when I awoke to Dojo's dulcet shrieks of "I wanna come OUT!" the clock said 7:20. Now, I know it's exactly the same time he woke up yesterday, but just the little 7 on the clock makes me feel better psychologically. So, to celebrate my fake sleeping in, here's a snippet from my WiP.
And now it's gone ; )

Sigh, I miss Loren. Must finish revisions...
So vivid. Love it!
Which novel is this from?
My favorite, "And then he tries the doorknob, and it’s locked, and we’re not there, and he turns into sand, the sand he always brings back, and blows away."
My second favorite, "My father dies every time he walks out the door and comes back to life every time he returns."
I guess I like her dad. I like it. I want to know more...so the hook must have worked.
Thank you! This is from the opening chapter of my ghost story book.
Love it!
This is a very nice beginning, but the kid who calls ought to be showing up again or I'll be bothered by the mention.
This isn't actually the opening, just a section from the first chapter. The kid who calls was already in it.
This has spooky potential.
Wow, I'd have thought this was a beginning. You fooled me by starting with a moving van pulling away.
cool. I actually really like the melancholy feel and vivid portrayal of setting. I'm curious for more.
