Tuesday Teaser/Teaser Tuesday #45

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Here are the rules: Grab your current read. Open to a random page. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page, and BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!



When he looked away, to his horror, every other artifact on the shelves was facing him too. The mouths of the idols slowly opened and closed, as if chanting silent prayers.




And now, for my Tuesday Teaser...For those of you who don't know, I do my Tuesday Teasers differently (and yes, I add this disclaimer every time). Each week, I feature two sentences (or more) of something I've written, leave it up all day, then remove it around 11 PM. You're welcome to comment on it, love it, hate it, or simply read it at your leisure...if you'd like, of course. This week's teaser is from my current WIP, RACE.



I live in a world where light is dark, dark is light, and the only semblance of sanity comes from those made to kill. In a world as twisted and backwards as mine, even the little wrongs begin to seem right.

He stayed there next to her, leaned his body against the edge of bridge. Jessa liked the way the stone curved with her body, as if the designers of the bridge knew how many people would lay against it, stare out at the water, wonder where is had all gone wrong.

My mind is a maze of confusion and panic as I count the steps as though they're my lifeline. But there are voices singing to me as I step downwards, telling me to go no further - telling me that what lies beneath is only darkness and death.

The ashen, sickly color of her skin faded. Slowly, Madame Cornot loosened her grip on Ada's arms until she eventually let go and lay back against the couch with her eyes closed.

Brimming with blood and echoing with the screams of a thousand dead Racers, I wrench myself from the vivid nightmare, but the terror remains. I launch myself from my cot and crouch in the far corner, panting for a deep breath, feeling the icy cold sheen trickle lazily down my neck.

Whatever anger or self-righteousness I'd come in with had vanished. "She shouldn't be allowed to hit me, or steal my dad's money, no matter what," I said weakly.

My legs are sporting bright droplets of scarlet blood, oozing from the cracks in my injured flesh. I smudge the blood with my stinging hands, only to realize I’ve made my legs look worse. I wipe my reddened hands on the remnants of my dress and let my shoulders slump, collapsing my head into my folded arms.

Even at the age of ten, she was defacing pop posters and modeling herself on dead actresses. Forties Hollywood starlets, radiating beauty and discontent.

It was the facial hair that really gave it away. At sixteen, he hoped that his dirty face would add a couple of years since his scruffy chin was sure to speak the truth.

I had a flash of my mom's face as she folded and smoothed the thick, fluffy towels, scented with lavender. She always folded and put away the towels herself for some reason, instead of letting Carmen do it.

Ms. Fiddle forced herself to speak in a really calm voice, but it was too calm, sort of like the pause just before lightning strikes the ground and explodes. 'If Savannah Lipton, let's say, represented a time on the popularity clock, what time would she be?'

It's a little before nine o'clock, and most people are just rushing to get to work on time. An endless blur of normal people doing normal things, eyes straight ahead of them, paying no attention to the short, nondescript girl with a lumpy backpack pushing past them.

He gives me that special glare concierges always give you when they figure out that you're American, or that you don't speak the language, like he ate a bad nicoise salad. Like I'm supposed to speak every language in Europe.
