Six Sentence Sunday 10/09


Hello, hello! It's that majestic time of year when the world erupts into a plethora of colors, pumpkin pie is on every menu, and football season is in full swing. I. LOVE. FALL. At least the beginning of it. The part that bows down to winter, meh, not so much. ;)



Welcome to this week's edition of Six Sentence Sunday! I'm glad I get to spend it with y'all, and glad that y'all chose to spend some of your time with me. Your comments make me smile. 

Don't forget to check out my fellow Sixers here.

My nose told me Sylvia was nearby; Lorenzo, however, wasn’t, and instead of the expected sense of relief, disappointment crawled through me like a turtle, covering every part of me. He’d saved me, like Jasper had wanted to, and I wanted to thank him. Most of all, he confirmed that somewhere locked inside me was a woman named Janelle, a woman who deserved to understand her fate. 

I closed my eyes again, wishing they’d leave Sylvia and me alone. I needed to know if Lorenzo had said my real name, Janelle. The familiarity of his voice whispering the name gave me hope.

I was really thrown by the 'disappointment crawled through me like a turtle...' line, 'cause if it's crawling through her (that's inside), it can't also 'cover' her (that's on top). Also, if it's crawling like a turtle, that's a very slow, plodding sensation... which is an image that seems to contrast the rest of the scene.

Thanks, guys.

Ya know, Monkey, I'm not really a big fan of that simile either... I'll have to fix that. Thanks!

So much happening in these six--to a woman "locked inside...named Janelle". Fascinating.
