Blood Red Sky
I watched the blood red sky fade into darkness. I needed to catch my breath; I didn’t want to lose my head. I was standing there, stuck, staring hopelessly at what once was a magnificent city with beautifully designed buildings that would never be seen again. Ashes fluttered down like snow, as everything around me crumbled beyond repair. The world as I knew it was gone.
Throw Back Thursday! In honor of my failed attempt at Camp NaNoWriMo, right before my book publication. This is the book I started to work on, but didn’t get very far. My head was still too wrapped up in the Rain story-line, and I have been pretty busy with getting everything ready. This one will be finished, but first I’m going to get Rain out of my system, so I can give it the attention it deserves. This is the opening paragraph of the novel.
