Six Sentence Sunday – Polydeukes

by Chrystalla Thoma | Mar 5, 2011 | My writing | 31 comments

Six Sentence Sunday! 🙂 For today, I’ve chosen a passage featuring Polydeukes (the immortal of the twin brothers) and the Satyr whom you met last week. The Satyr is trying to pound some sense into Polydeukes, warn him about the danger of the game he’s playing to keep Kastor alive. But the Satyr, despite all his knowledge, is about to realize for the first time how much brothers can love each other.

Pol rested his forehead on the hay, eyes running and stinging. He sat up, wiped at them. “What do you suggest?”
“Return Kastor to Hades with apologies. Stop this game.”
You don’t understand. “I can’t.”

I would also like to announce that Dioscuri (novella, urban fantasy, young adult) is now available to purchase with MuseItUp Publishing – just click here for the link!

To read more wonderful excerpts from many great authors in all genres go here.

Thank you to all for visiting my blog and leaving such wonderful comments! 🙂
