Six Sentence Sunday – Lucia

by Chrystalla Thoma | Mar 12, 2011 | My writing | 26 comments

Six Sentence Sunday time again – let’s play! 🙂

This time I will give you an excerpt from my short story “The Angel Genome” which will come out sometime this month in the anthology “Extinct doesn’t mean forever” edited by Phoenix Sullivan.

Blurb: What if the legends of angels arose from an extinct human branch? Lucia doesn’t believe in angels – but she might believe in the cloned child of a forgotten race – Zeph.

Zeph isn’t acting in a very angelic manner right now. 😉

“Zeph was acting up again. He refused to eat, and threw his food on the wall.”

Trying to stifle a snort, Lucia coughed behind her hand. Fantastic. “Not very angelic behavior, is it?” If that wasn’t a clue, she didn’t know what was.

Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again next sunday. Be sure to check out excerpts from the work of many great authors here!

Interesting and intriguing!

snicker, an ‘angel’ having a temper tantrum, I love it.
Sarah Grimm on March 13, 2011 at 3:25 pm

Very interesting six!

An angelic hissy fit! Love it.

Sounds like a Paranormal/SFR crossover. Love it!

Seems like acting angelic will be learned behavior for Zeph. 🙂 Great six.

Thank you all!

Laurie, it’s not romance (Zeph is only 6 years old) – but yes, it’s sort of crossover between paranormal and Science fiction. 🙂

Hehe, cool six! 🙂

Cute! Hopefully his tantrum doesn’t escalate! No telling what an angry angel can do. 🙂
Hailey Edwards on March 13, 2011 at 6:48 pm

Very interesting six. Naughty angel, throwing a tantrum like that. 😉

Really neat concept. I like the immediate “clue” to his character.

Great six!

Never trust a genome.
Lisa Fox on March 14, 2011 at 12:25 am

Angels have bad days too it seems.

I can almost visualize Zeph as I’m reading the snippet. Bring on more.
