This week's eight are the first eight from the book:
It figured that I would get lost. Kyle was always telling me I had a terrible sense of direction. “Turn left,” I would say, and he would answer “Which left, Gwynn, yours or mine?” I used to think everything Kyle said was charming.
I’d since found out that Kyle, like GPS, had a limited range. Out here, in the middle of Vermont farm country, my GPS had stopped functioning. A signal kept insisting the phone was searching for a satellite, but it was becoming pretty clear that the satellite was nowhere to be found. It was hiding, perhaps, from the snippy woman’s voice that commanded me to turn left when I wanted to turn right.

ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie!
DeleteNice! Congrats on the nomination.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine!
DeleteI love this! Great how you compared him to a GPS with limited range, i actually burst out laughing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren. Poor Kyle is pretty limited.
DeleteCongratulations. Lost yet amusing in a scary situation. Good eight.
ReplyDeleteThanks Charmaine. She's more lost than she knows!
DeleteGPS's definitely have their limitations, especially when they don't have good maps. Mine couldn't even get me home using my address; finally had to sit in the driveway and say "this is home!" And they're not much use in a wilderness unless you know the coordinates of where you want to know. And if this is time travel to a time when there are no satellites...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've had that happen too! By the time GPS 'found' me I didn't need it anymore, LOL. And I don't think it will find Gwynn as she's in 1973... No maps for that.
DeleteGreat opening full of teasers that make me want to find out more! Congratulation on your nomination, and good luck!
