Six Sentence Sunday - The First


Garden Magic Inf
As my first foray into Six Sentence Sunday, I'd like to post something from the first story I sold.

Once the older gentleman had gotten off [the elevator], she found herself constantly sneaking a peek at her companion. She was strongly attracted to him.

“Are you meeting someone on the top floor?”

She was startled by his question since it came out of the blue and hung heavily in the still air. “Ye…Yes,” she stammered. “I’m taking a surprise lunch to my fiancĂ©..."


To make this week extra special, I'm celebrating my 13th Wedding Anniversary.  Have a virtual glass of champagne on me. And lots of chocolate.

For more SSS excitement, follow the twitter stream #sixsunday or stop by the Six Sentence Sunday website.

Congratulations on your anniversary. I hope you have a wonderful celebration.

I love that last line. Throws the conflict right out there.

Happy anniversary!!! It's okay to have my virtual champagne at 9:52am right? :D

Love the snippet. The last line really sets it off and sets up great tension.
