October 12th – pulse

#AnthropomorphicNovel, today!

Ray deals with the aftermath of a small car accident she was just in.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I wrenched the door open and stumbled out, then glanced back at the other car. The succubus hadn’t moved. If I left her there, she would burn alive. Perhaps a fitting end for her, but I couldn’t just sit here and let her die.
	I limped across the distance. The flames were gaining in intensity, so I needed to hurry. I tried the door handle, but the crash had warped the frame, and I couldn’t get it open. The window was broken, however, so I knocked out the remaining pebbles of glass with my elbow, then reached in, unbuckled Carla’s seat belt and hauled her out onto the grass. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, my back screamed in protest, but I got her out.
	I dragged Carla up onto the road and over to the other shoulder then checked her pulse; it was strong and steady, but she hadn’t stirred. I bound her feet and hands with plastic ties, just to be safe. 
	Then I leaned back against a tree and watched the flames bubble the paint on my black Mazda. Maybe I could just tell the Geico guy that it had been stolen.

đŸ§›â€â™‚ïž A Gentleman's Tour of the Empire 🩇

Edwards is terrified of heights (and caves, deep water, ice underfoot, most animals...) but refused to admit this to Kenneth before climbing a very unstable rope ladder. He doesn't want him to think he's a coward.

#wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity

“Careful!” Edwards called up when the vampire swung his legs over the edge. He had to bite back a sarcastic response, because if anything might have made him fall, then it was being startled by someone hollering at him. As he neared the bottom, the doctor held his waist to steady him the last few steps, though there was absolutely no need. “We are never doing that again!”

“Are you alright? You’ve gone a funny color,” smiled Kenneth, pretending to feel his forehead and take his pulse as an excuse to keep touching him. “Your heart rate is galloping. Would you like to sit down?”

“I’m fine, it’s just from that death trap.”
He was scowling. Kenneth reached out to Edwards’ thin, knotted brows and smoothed them with his thumbs. After the way the doctor had helped him off the ladder, he felt he could get away with it.

“So you are afraid of heights?”

“Yes, I admit it, I am a little nervous of heights,” Edwards sighed, as though he were the most exasperating man in the world. “Happy now?”

Shalhra comes for Drisal; his horse has not forgotten him.

- Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power

Drisal woke. Night still covered him, cold and
unforgiving. Agony danced with nothingness and each kept him fast against the ground in their turn. His eyes closed again, his cheek rested on the earth and he felt a pulse. Faint but familiar, a rhythm beneath him, vibrating his stone-hard bed of frost, knocking gently on his heart. His eyelids fluttered. A
sound came closer, a heartbeat racing in fours, in threes—ever so gently growing louder yet calming, slowing—threes, slower, now twos. Now four again, close, two twice, much closer—now silence.
Drisal lay trembling, listening, afraid to stir a muscle until a
loud, damp puff in his ear blew him over, onto his back. Thick hair dropped and tickled his face. Warm breath and nibbles on his chest and a low, soft
whicker. He lifted his hand.

Real late post for “Low-Stakes-Sunday.” I wanna show something peaceful for a change 


Music in the hideout

- Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power

But Theris wiped his mouth and stretched. He dragged his pallet closer to Rushak's and took up his letra. As the soothing and beautiful music filled the cave, Drisal could only bury his head in his hands.

The music stopped. Quiet voices penetrated his ire and Drisal realized his brother was speaking with Theris, asking about his letra. Theris showed him the fine details of its workmanship. The two appeared not to have a care in the world beyond the instrument.

"Would you know "The Tree Shaper's Jig'?"
Rushak asked, and when the music started with a nod from Theris he relaxed at last, falling into sleep with a faint smile.

"Sleep well, little COUSIN," Theris murmured.
