Promise of revenge ~ Weekend Writing Warriors / #8sunday / 09/11/16

Hi! Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday round. Every week writers post 8-to-10 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book. Then we "hop" around and leave comments on each other's snippets. Whether our work is already published or in progress, the helpful comments help us become stronger writers on our next WIP. We welcome EVERYONE's comments.

A long, long time ago I shared a few snippets from my Paranormal Romantic Suspense, Karma Visited (only 5) - and we didn't get a full taste of this . Since I am working on a sequel and revisiting the story for myself, I'm sharing more with you and soaking up your comments.

Do you believe in karma? Annie Furman has a gift that allows her, while she sleeps, to visit people in their time of need - but who will be there for her when she needs help? Undersheriff Dave Turner is investigating a series of home invasions and homicides. He has no idea that solving this case will lead him to the woman of his dreams.

Last week, after an angry town meeting, Annie overheard her husband and his friend promising to "stop" anyone who got in their way.
Annie is confronted by an angry Sherry Pulaski in a local store.

This will probably be the last snippet from Karma Visited (maybe?). I will be sharing snippets from another story in a week (or two).

Creative editing (a.k.a. condensed to fit) alert!  Here are Ten lines...  

“You tell your husband and his buddies I am not backing down and you tell them to keep the hell away from my son’s school.”
“Is everything okay with your son?” Sherry’s son had Autism Spectrum Disorder, she and her husband fought to mainstream the boy in school and make sure he received every resource he was entitled to.
“Trying to take services away from an innocent child,” Sherry let out a loud sigh, “that’s low.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s going on?”
Sherry paused her tirade to look at Annie, “Yeah, I’m sure you don’t.”
“I don’t,” she wasn’t sure if she was believed or being mocked.
“Well you tell him that I’m not backing down, they try to hurt my son and they’ll get it back where it hurts.”
“I am so sorry, he’s a sweet little boy,” she was still confused, “who hurt him?”
“If your husband screws with me or my family, he’s got a whole world of hurt coming, I will stop them.”

Just Say No ~ Weekend Writing Warriors / #8sunday / 09/04/16

Undersheriff Dave Turner is investigating a series of home invasions and homicides. He has no idea that solving this case will lead him to the woman of his dreams.

Here we are a few pages later and there is an ugly and angry town meeting going on about the pipeline and mall project. Sherry Pulaski has brought an expert environmental engineer and his comments have riled up the townspeople even more. Scott and his buddy (Old Man Hunter) are not happy.
(btw, last week Annie left suddenly because she was murmuring in her sleep and disturbed her husband who angrily woke her and told her to go sleep on the couch)

Creative editing (a.k.a. condensed to fit) alert!  Here are Nine lines...  

People were angry, Annie didn’t like what she was hearing, she had a bad feeling that Scott was deeply entrenched in whatever was being bullied through.
Annie saw Scott and Old Man Hunter in the back of the room, and they looked angry.
Led by Pulaski, the crowd started chanting “Just say no.”
Annie kept her mouth shut, she didn’t want to incur her husband’s wrath.
She followed the crowd as they filed out of the room when the meeting was over and walked up behind Scott and Hunter and overheard their angry comments.
“She’s got to be stopped and all of her damn compatriots, too.”
“Don’t worry, they will be,” Hunter reassured Scott.
“You’re still going ahead with the plan?”
They realized that Annie was there and stopped talking.

We are still in Annie's dream in Dave's living room. They've shared alot about the threat Annie has been living with. Dave offers to help her but she is afraid that will only make things worse. (I'm probably only going to share two more times from Karma Visited)

Creative editing (condensed to fit) alert!  Here are Eight lines...  

“You said you needed to disappear, does that mean I’ll never get to see you again?” Dave fidgeted uncomfortably, “this is only the second time I’ve talked with you but something tells me I really want to get to know you better, I haven’t stopped thinking about you since the other night.”
Annie chuckled, “I think maybe you couldn’t stop thinking about me just because no one else could see me.”
“Yeah, well, there was that,” he grinned, “are you able to come here whenever you want?”
“I don’t know, it worked this time, somehow.” Annie suddenly looked scared, “I’ve got to go.”
“Wait, when will I see you again?”
She was gone.

We are still in Annie's dream in Dave's living room. He's offered to help her leave her husband but she tells him she needs to disappear completely and doesn't want anyone else involved. Again she repeats Scott's threat to lock her away...

Creative editing (condensed to fit) alert!  Here are Ten lines... 

“You can’t just say someone’s crazy and put somebody away.”
“I have a history,” Annie looked away regretting what she had just blurted out.
Dave slowly changed his seat to sit next to her aura, or whatever it was he was seeing, “what do you mean you have a history?”
“I was in the car with my parents when we were hit by a truck, mommy and daddy were killed right away, I was hurt really bad but I was still alive, for a while at least.”
“What did you mean by a while?”
“I died on the operating table, the doctors brought me back and I was in a coma for a month or so. I started having nightmares of disasters, fires, car accidents, earthquakes; the doctors couldn’t explain it and they told my aunt to take me to a psychiatrist but nobody was able to cure me.”
“These are the dreams you still have?”
“I didn’t understand that they were real, then when I realized that I was seeing disasters as they happened, no one wanted to listen to me, I started lying about the dreams.”
“They thought it was just your imagination,” he still sounded kind.

Undersheriff Dave Turner is investigating a series of home invasions and homicides. He has no idea that solving this case will lead him to the woman of his dreams.

Both incredulous, Annie visits Dave in a dream and they talk about the "craziness" of this strange reality. She knows his name from the news broadcast; when he asks her name she won't say more than "Annie".

Creative editing (made to fit) alert!  Here are Ten lines... 
He smiled, “does Annie have a last name?”
“I do, but I don’t want to tell you”
His smile deflated, “why not?”
“I could get in a lot of trouble with my… it’s just better, I don’t want to get someone angry.”
“I noticed your ring the other night,” Dave lowered his voice, “are you scared of him?”
“He’s not hurting me,” she lied.
“Then why are you scared of him?”
“Threats aren’t always physical.”
Dave narrowed his eyes, “so what is this… this threat?”
She rested her head against the back of the couch, “he says he’s going to put me away in a mental hospital, he thinks I’m crazy because of my dreams.”

Undersheriff Dave Turner is investigating a series of home invasions and homicides. He has no idea that solving this case will lead him to the woman of his dreams.

Annie visits Dave in another dream and they share an ALMOST NORMAL and comfortable conversation. Dave admits he is... confused by what is happening.

Creative editing alert!  Here are Nine lines... 

“Normally the only people that can see me are in trouble, maybe I’m there to comfort them so they don’t die alone.”
“That kidnapped girl didn’t die thanks to you.”
“You were already there.”
“We didn’t know where she was,” he leaned towards her, “it was you at that accident, wasn’t it?”
She looked away thinking of the children in the car.
“You made that phone call, how did you do that?”
“I woke up and called the police.”
“And then you came back to the scene,” Dave laughed, “if someone else was telling me that this was happening to him I would think he was crazy.”
She bit her lip, “there are people who think that I am crazy when I try to tell them what I’ve seen.”
“The idea freaks me out, just do me a favor and assure me that this is real, I mean as real as it can be,” he paused, “it is a hard concept to swallow.”
