Here’s another six from my probably-not-drawer novel.
It’s been a busy morning for Clyota . . . and someone called the police:
The female officer escorted me to my bedroom and looked around as I pulled clothes from my bureau. I dropped the robe, and the officer drew in a breath. “Where’d you get the scars?”
“Basic training,” I said, zipping my jeans.
“Army?”
“Library.”

LOL Love this six! And take it all the way out of the drawer!!! 🙂
I guess I have, really, Jessica, but it’s a handy place to keep it until I have time to do a complete rewrite. 🙂
I love the Library! Great six!
Thanks, Wendy! 🙂
OMG! LMAO! The “library” was a surprise ending to this. I can just see the officer’s reaction.
I believe her hand might have dropped to her gun . . . 😀
LOL, wonder how he’s going to react to that!
With extreme caution, I think. 😀
I love that in this world it is the norm that librarians are the toughest. It’s seriously one of the coolest elements I’ve ever read in a book and this six is a great showcase of it.
Thanks, Lisa—finally the outsides match the insides. 🙂
That cracked me up! I love this world you’ve created!
Thanks, Kate!
🙂 That’s right, never screw with a librarian. They’re badass!
Yes. Yes we are. 😀
LOL! Love your snippet! 🙂
Thanks, Lorraine! 🙂
Totally plausible. On school vacation days I see the beating our librarians take.
You aren’t kidding, MSB! 😀
I think you nailed both the jacket cover AND the outside blurb with this post…
You know, my birthday is coming up and this jacket comes in my size . . . 😉
Wow! LOL This one doesn’t belong in a drawer. Great six!
