Hi peeps,
It’s that time again! Six Sentence Sunday is upon us once more. Thanks, as always, to the lovely peeps at Six Sentence Sunday, and to all the lovely visitors who leave such wonderful comments. You guys rock!
This week, I thought I’d post something from that short story I was writing, tentatively entitled “Glory Box”. Check it out!
“I come here every night, and I want—Christ, I look at you on that stage and I just want to hold you, to feel you next to me and know that neither of us are alone.”
Running a hand through his tousled hair, he laughed, and it was a harsh, bitter sound. “Stupid, right? So tonight, when you beckoned to me with that wicked smile, I was going to take only what you gave and be content with that, but then you asked—” He exhaled, and his look turned rueful and despairing and self-depricating all at once. “You asked me what I wanted—and I want you.”
Thanks for stopping by, peeps!
A lot of emotion in that six! Well done! 🙂
Aww, thanks Jessica! I think this story could be something special, if I get it right. Off to listen to “Glory Box” by Portishead again and be inspired… 😀
Wow. Great six. Just lovely.
Thanks so much, Heather! I hope the rest of the story is lovely, too…fingers and toes! Should really get back to it, I spose 😀
Love it!
Thanks, Alexa! 😀
Man, I really use that smiley face a lot, don’t I? Oh wells 😀
How can a person not be tempted by such ardent honesty? Nice six.
Thanks! I’m so happy peeps are liking this six (and I just accidently wrote ‘licking this six’ ;p)
Sounds like he’s being honest, at least.
Thanks, Sueann! I think it might just be the turning point of the whole story 😀
Hey Cassandra, what a great six. So much emotion. Excellent job 🙂
P.S: I also use the smiley faces – a lot!

Smiley faces are great, aren’t they 😀 😀 😀

Thanks for your comment, Karen!
I LIKE him. I really enjoyed his “voice” here, can’t wait to read more. A lot of emotion – great six!
Thanks so much, Veronica! So cool that you enjoyed and you like him and you want to read more. Always a delight to an author’s ears (or in this case, eyes) 😀
