Another Sunday and the craziness continues. Lord knows how I’m keeping it together, but these posts are just too much fun to miss out on. ^_^

This week, my Six Sentence Sample continues on the theme of my A-Z of flash fiction and hits the letter ‘E.’ With a rigger word of Eagle, I made up a brand new character which I think pretty much encapsulates the growing pains of any adolescent boy seeking approval of those around him. Quite proud of it actually.

“Everybody else gets to go,” he thought darkly, “why am I the only one?!” He turned, meaning to walk back through the tunnel which would take him home, when a loud, shrill call sliced the still of the night.
The boy whirled around, one hand drifting to the knife at his belt, yanking it free. His eyes scanned the mountain side; the little lip of flat rock upon which he stood and the the twin face on his right side.
Nothing there.
He looked down, watching the twinkling golden lights of cooking fires and lit homes from the human village at the foot of the mountain.
