I'm currently touring cyberspace with Superman.. That was a fun sentence to write. Anyway, in honor of the Searching for Superman blog tour, I'm offering up a little bit of one of my favorite scenes from the book. A wrecking ball has shown up unannounced, ready to tear down the Rialto Theater.
Conrad stood at attention and put the hand of his
unlinked arm over his heart. “You’ll have to put that ball through my chest
before I allow it to touch a brick on my theater.”
“Don’t tempt me,” Hard Hat said as she climbed back into the crane
cab.
Stephanie admired Conrad’s resolve, but the woman’s move
shook her nonetheless. Death at the hands of a wrecking ball was not an end she
envisioned for herself and certainly not before her thirtieth birthday. “You
don’t think she’s going to do anything stupid, do you?’
“She wouldn’t dare.” Conrad, Stephanie noted, had gone
chalk white.
Please visit Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday for some great bits and pieces.

ReplyDeleteLove Conrad's bravado!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Hard Hat is a hard @$$! Careful Conrad! Nice eight.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! Tense! Can't wait to see what happens next, terrific snippet!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's hilarious. If only it were after her birthday then death by wrecking ball wouldn't be so bad. Great snippet.
