As I have hinted at before, I am working on something big for this summer. Something incredibly, insanely important to me. Something awesome. I believe it is time to start dropping a few bits of my work here and there. Sometimes for feedback, sometimes just because.
Here is a little piece of writing I drafted tonight:
Not more than a dozen steps from the barn, Pat and Brent were hit with a strong odor. Something rotten. Something repulsive. The darkness in the barn's shadow came into focus as Brent and Pat adjusted to the sunlight. Brent saw something terrible.
In the shadow of the barn sat the carcass of a cow splayed across the ground. Entrails dangled every direction from a tear in its spotted side. Blood stained the ground - grass, dirt, and weeds all glimmered with a bright red sheen. Worse than the smell, worse than the sight: the cow moaned under what little strength it could muster. It was still alive.
B3 out.
