I am so excited about writing this book that I just can't help myself, so here is an excerpt from chapter 2...
My door was adorned with 'Stay Out', and 'Enter at Your Own Risk' signs. I opened my door and literally fell into my room. I kicked the door closed with my foot as I laid there on the floor, head in the crook of my elbow. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and spaced out for a minute, I kept replaying the scene over and over again in my head and began to seethe with anger. Who the hell was trying to kill me? I snapped myself out of it and pulled my limp body off the floor with the little strength I had left and dragged my feet to the bathroom.
It was a small excuse for a bathroom, with no tub, just a shower stuck in the wall, with a mirror and sink adjacent, and a porcelain toilet on the opposing flowered wallpaper. I flicked on the light and almost vomited at the sight of the hideous bruise that the tranquilizer dart had left on my neck. It looked like I had a boyfriend with a vacuum for a mouth. There was no way I was going to school tomorrow looking like this. I would just fake it, like I always did, and try to convince my mom to let me stay home.
I will probably start posting the rest on my other blog after the design is finished, more details to follow. Jewel of the story...this is in honor of NaNoWriMo: check it out...www.nanowrimo.org/
