Ah that Lucky Seven

    Kathryn Purdie Was nice enough to include me in her Lucky 7 post on her blog. I have been spending most of my online time at WritOnCon so I couldn't get together seven people I would like to have post their "Lucky Seven", but I figured I could give an excerpt of my very new(and very rough) WIP. The rules are, I'm to go to the seventh page, seventh line of my story and post seven lines of prose. So here it is from my WIP, Andious Seed.


Falling halfway to his knees Adrian scrambled around to take in the new danger and found himself staring at death made flesh. 

Feeling his mind trying to pull from what he was seeing Adrian blinked several times attempting to get the image to make sense. 

Crouched down on now broken concrete was a creature, Adrian didn't know how else to describe it, demon maybe. 

Its skin was a mix of putrid greens and yellows, a trail of massive, bone colored spikes ran from its wide brow down the middle of an overly muscled back.

Even kneeling as it was, it dwarfed both Adrian and the gray coated man, its orange eyes taking both of them in, spoke of a predator’s intellect.

“I told you we had to run," the strange man said, "but you didn't want to listen, no one listens anymore. The world has become full of know-it-alls, and each one knows less than the last,” he pulled Adrian to his feet and stepped in front of him.

Anyway hope you enjoy it, I am having a blast writing it.

    1. Yeah I wasn't sure what would come up on the seventh page, but it worked out. Yeah WriteOnCon is great so far. It is a lot to take in, but I've learned a ton.

  4. Oooh intriguing! Love the description of the creature. The spikes and the muscled back make me think this thing is probably pretty damn fast... so I hope Adrian and the man RUN!!!
