Deiform Two and Rymellan Excerpts #2

Around a month ago, I posted short excerpts from Deiform Two and the next Rymellan story (Identity Crisis). I said I’d post more over the coming months. I’ve finished the first draft of Identity Crisis (yay!), so I figured now would be a good time for the next set.

I mentioned that Deiform Two is the second longest story I’ll release. Well, it turns out that Identity Crisis is the second longest Rymellan story. It’s approximately 37,000 words in length, longer than The Accident (~25,500 words), but shorter than Shattered Lives (~45,500 words). Over the course of editing the story, the word count will change, but not enough to knock it out of second place.

Identity Crisis is a cracking story. At this point, I expect to release it in December.

Okay, excerpts. Usual reminder – the following excerpts might be absent or rephrased in the published versions of the stories:

If Adelaide could have scuttled the triad, she would have. But she hadn’t had a choice. This time, Les was handing her the choice, and the answer would be no. Right now, Mo didn’t know whether she’d support or oppose Adelaide, so she’d stay here and figure out where she stood. Let Jayne go stick her neck out. – Mo Thompson
 “I believe you were about to torture me, but you know what? I think I’ll just disappear.” –  Jillian
 “We’re all choosing between an unpalatable option and an uncomfortable one.” – Laura Finney
 The spidery script and older English were challenging, but she understood enough to make her jaw clench. Only the tempering effect of her dismay prevented her from throwing the precious book across the room. Why are You doing this to me? - Sam

Have a great weekend!
