This is my Six Sentence Sunday excerpt of FLYING TO THE LIGHT. The boys are on the run…
Day 4—Thursday, 5:00 a.m.
He felt old. Not the kind of old where someone simpers along in a blessed Alzheimer’s oblivion and nurses tend to your every need, but the kind of old that nightmares bring. The old that if he closed his eyes to go to bed for the night, there would be the lingering fear he might not wake up in the morning—that this might be his last cognizant night on Earth.
Michael was so terrified he couldn’t breathe. His safe, little world had shifted out of its comfortable orbit the moment his parents were kidnapped, propelling him to places he never dreamed imaginable. Suddenly, there was horror everywhere and nothing was what it appeared to be.
FLYING TO THE LIGHT is available on Amazon, Cool Well Press and on Barnes and Noble

Oh, I really like this character. I’m so intrigued by this snippet. I’m definitely following your blog now!
Great job! I could feel the tension.
Hi! You never know when you click on a SSS name, what genre you’re going to find. I write and read erotic romance, not YA.(Although I am a big Harry Potter fan). But, I found your snippet very interesting and I clicked on your link to Flying to the Light. It sounds like a fascinating read.
Thank you so much Cara – glad you enjoyed it.
Sounds interesting. Is this horror?
Actually, it’s a YA thriller about a young deaf boy who knows what happens to you when you die and now people are after him – his older brother, Michael – who you see here – has to keep him safe. 🙂
Sounds interesting.
Really good snippet. Gave a good feel for the character and his plight.
I love this start…the word simpers really sets the tone. Great six!
Whoa, I’m sad I didn’t get to this yesterday, but I’m certainly glad I finally came by. Your writing is excellent. You can really feel that dawning terror that everything is not going to be alright. Great six.
Thanks so much for the kind feedback and glad you enjoyed it!
Nice 6! Such an eerie description but quite intriguing 🙂
