Six Sentence Sunday: Fitz

I've been playing with my werewolf this week. Fitz is completely incorrigible. I have to finish and sub him soon, he's been sitting on my hard drive too long…

Did I want to live? Where was I? What had happened? Panic bubbled and words burst out. "What sort of insane question is that?" I choked, and agony shot over my skull.

"Make a choice."

I breathed slow, wanting to ease the fear, the pain enveloping me. I...

I've been working on edits on this one this week.  Perfecting Naia should be out with Ellora's Cave some time in October
