Okay, okay, okay. Which 6 sentences this week...hmmmm. All right! I got it. This is from Duty and Devotion, where little sis Rinny is training to fight:
"The Lieutenant’s training assistant, Sergeant Nowell, followed his chin tap with a quick kick to Rinny’s gut, then a side jab into her ribs. Rinny folded like a rag doll, landing hard on the fighting mat. Lying rumpled, her side and jaw throbbing, she heaved for breath. The room swirled like a roller coaster ride. Sweat dripped into her eyes, stung them.
The Lieutenant continued to instruct from the side."
Good writing all!
Ohhh, I think your link failed to post on the SSS site, but this is a powerful scene. The tough love side of training. Love the military theme.
ReplyDeleteHope you post more next week.
LOL! I know. Me and my PST self put in the wrong time for the posting. It had to be in by 9 am EST and I'm used to posting all my things at 8 am PST.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be ready for next week!
Thanks for liking the sentences. Mucho appreciated!
