It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few

I have seen this meme bouncing around the blogsphere the past few days, so I thought I’d give it a try:

Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story.

  1. I love this idea…a boy stands holding a flashlight filled with emotion but he isn’t running…cannot wait to see if you write the story.

  2. Hm, I like this prompt is really intriguing, and it’s a pity you won’t see the whole story here:

    “Simon is still green to Dylan; with his flashlight he carves a path of light from the back of Simon’s neck, down his shoulders, and his spine.”

    PS. I think this could be in one of the books I am working on, and it could possibly be the epilogue. But the project is very much early days right now, meaning that anything can and will change.

    1. Oh you are really cruel Carolyn. I didn’t see this earlier, but I’ll reply properly with a sentence soon.

    2. Okay, that was faster than I thought:
