Now, for the rules... Go to Page 7, 70, or 170 of a current Work in Progress or recently published work and choose 7 lines of dialogue to share.
This is from page 7 of Dancing in the Athenian rain, which is about Donna, who is sent back in time to Athens and she is bought as a wife. She is talking to the scientist who sends her.
“It’s stable enough, but I’m just not sure if I could do an immediate round trip. Eventually, but not right away.”“Uh huh.”“Donna.” He set the bowl down and grasped my elbows. “I need someone to go through to tell me if it worked. Don’t you see? You’re perfect for this. You’re adaptable, empathetic, and it would give you a chance to test all those things you learned in your history classes.”“Ah… no.”He stared fervently into my eyes. “How about giving you a chance to escape? To start over and be free of your so-called friends?”
