Prologue...sort of.
Solitary Sky comes out on September 10th, but I am still on the fence about including the tiny, paragraph-sized prologue. I tend toward including it, but I'm not sure it quite qualifies as a prologue.
So I need opinions. =)
See my previous post for the back cover blurb to get an idea what the book is about.
Here is the "prologue":
Dirty, claw-like fingers thrust from the shadows and grabbed my throat. In half a breath I was off the ground, my legs flailing frantically. My nails dug deep into rugged flesh, trying desperately to free my neck from his inhuman grip. Pitch black eyes watched with sick pleasure as I struggled for breath, my strangled screams gone unheard. His grip tightened, crumbling the last of my resistance as it gave way to exhaustion. Billowing curtains of darkness draped my consciousness and I slipped further into the black. I closed my eyes and hoped death would come quickly as I lifted a trembling hand to clutch the cold piece of heart-shaped metal still dangling from my neck. Where are you?

Please let me know what you think...keep it or cut it? ;o)
paxamo,
