Not a bad line up, huh?
My story is called Taking Hold and here’s a little except for you.
Lily screamed. Plummeted. Frigid water closed over her head, stole her breath and heartbeat. She went motionless with shock for a moment before terror set her limbs to thrashing. Panic jolted through her veins. She couldn’t even think. The cold stole everything away.
Weight. Dragging her under.
She struggled to lose her pack, then pushed up. Her head breached the surface and she took a ragged gulp of air, her lungs and major organs burning, burning.
Under again. Heavy coat pulling her down.
Quiet. So cold that the shock leached from her body, leaving numbness behind. The numbness was nice, almost warm. Silence. Stillness.
Floating. Would it be so bad just to let go?
Hands grasped her arms and yanked her up, the sweet tranquility broken by a cold wind. She ate air in small razor-sharp bites. The strong grip pulled her over the ice lip of the pool, dragged her across the frozen surface of the lake. Above her she saw only white. Her teeth chattered so hard, for sure she’d break them.
A face entered her line of sight. Eyes as light and icy as the frozen water. Face as jagged and hard. His mouth moved but she heard nothing.
Then she saw nothing.
Looks awesome! I actually won a copy of the previous edition. I dont’ usually enjoy novellas but it was fun to read them!
Have any to give away?!!
