Weekend Writing Warriors #6!

Good Sunday morning, my peeps! Hope y'all are doin' spectacularly! Yes, I've started sayin' y'all now. I've been in Florida for a week. It just happens. I'm back home now, or at least I should be. Had a super-early flight this morning that left before the butt crack of dawn. Barring any unforeseen delays at the border (I cut all the tags off my clothes and hid the hooch pretty well), I suspect I'm taking a nice, long siesta right about now. For y'all, I have another lovely excerpt from The Cold War. Enjoy!


The right pathway sloped down. Blue waves engulfed their craft on the radar screen. Their internal temperature was rising steadily. Beep, beep, beep. A knot of worry lodged in my throat as the numbers climbed to staggering heights on our tracking device. Sharp gusts of wind, the strongest yet, whipped through the tunnels. Our ship held strong but The Coronavirus wavered, fighting to maintain their position. My father’s gaze darkened just as Mucosa made his final transmission.

Wishing y'all a Happy St. Paddy's Day! Thanks for stopping by, and make sure you visit the other participating blogs! Clicky!  :)
