Hello Sixers! That's right, it's your weekly dose of Six Sentence Sunday; your opportunity to get a glimpse of my world! And you can get a glimpse of several other worlds if you visit the Six Sentence List of authors.
In this snippet of The Bone Flute, Jozsef has just realized Rain is a relative of the woman he loved in Hungary in 628 AD; the woman who laid the curse on him. He needs Rain's help to break the curse, but he's afraid she knows the story of his betrayal and will refuse to release him from the spell.
His heart plummeted to his feet at her dismissal. She didn’t seem to realize his spirit was locked in a twilight existence connected to the Bone Flute, the artifact made from his own body and in her possession. Although they’d touched and seemed solid to each other, none of the other people in the room had seen him. Even now, the few people in the entryway took no notice of a tall man in knickers and boots standing among them.
Dark humor rolled through Jozsef and he snorted again, this time ruefully. If Rain kept the Bone Flute, she’d be keeping him, however inadvertently. It's good to be kept! ;) Stay tuned and happy reading!
I'm fascinated by this concept. Very very cool!
ReplyDeleteinteresting. nice.
ReplyDeleteCool concept-so is he a cursed ghost? What happens to him if she sets him free? BTW, love your picture of 'Jeff Lightfoot'. He's such a doll.
ReplyDeleteKarysa, 'Jeff' is a doll, isn't he? He came to me in a dream and demanded I tell his story. As for Jozsef, he was cursed to be a ghost attached to his own thigh bone flute until a magic user sets him free to "move on" to the next world. Can't tell you more than that. ;)

I really like this concept. Cursed and bound and kept - all great things!
ReplyDeleteSuch an intriguing world you've led us into. I'm very curious about how he's going to persuade Rain to help him. Wonderful six.
ReplyDeletewhen I read bone flute, I had something totally different in mind. My Bad. The snippet is very interesting. A cursed ghost.
ReplyDeleteRock and hard place, it sounds like. Angsty ghosts, we like. Nicely done, and we wonder what happens next.
ReplyDeleteI'm really curious about that flute and how it came to be made from his own body. Interesting and unusual characters!
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds like an intriguing story! Will be back for more next week!
