Weekend Writing Warriors #2!

Helloooooooo, my dears! Here we are, back again for another Weekend Writing Warriors! Hope you all survived the avalanche of snow. We got over two feet in my neck of the woods. I decided to wait for it to melt before leaving the house, but then I realized that it takes a freaking long time for 28 inches of snow to melt. So I made a snow fort instead. :D 

Last week I shared an excerpt from The Cold War. It's very fitting for this time of year. Here's the next eight sentences!

The two ships' commanders communicated by sound waves.

“T minus one minute.”

Mucosa’s troops prepared to enter through the right channel—a last-second strategy and a bold one at that. It was the road less traveled. Unpredictable and dangerous. Olfacto’s nose twitched, a telltale sign that he sensed trouble, but he remained stoic, knowing it was futile to argue with his headstrong counterpart.

“T minus thirty seconds.”

“Stand your ground!” Olfacto encouraged.

I've been making some changes to this story as I go along. I plan on entering it into a contest. So please feel free to make suggestions. And while you're here, take a minute and enter my first ever blog hop contest! Click me! Wishing you all a spectacular Sunday! :)
