(Some assembly required)
Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. This is a sample from my latest work “Frankenkitty”, and I hope you enjoy it. It started out as a young-adult superhero book, and well, you’ll see. In last week’s snippet, Jimmy helps set up their machine. Amber is upstairs; diverting Mrs Gross’s attention when they turn it on – with interesting results.
Suddenly the lights dimmed, and a blue glow emanated from the water faucet; St. Elmo’s fire filled the kitchen, and then just as quickly it was back to normal; Mrs. Gross’s calm went, “What the hell was that; What are you doing downstairs?”
She ran to the stairs, followed closely by Jennifer.
“Amber! What are you doing?”
“Nothing Mother; Everything’s fine; No need to come down.”
“Nothing?” She sprinted down the stairs. “What are you doing with that poor Guinea Pig; can’t you hear it squeaking in panic? You know you can’t have a pet, not with Father’s allergies.”
In her concern about the ‘Guinea Pig’, she didn’t notice Jimmy staring in disbelief at the smoking remnants of his ground wire.
This is no longer a work in progress.
My book “The Curious Profession of Dr. Craven” is finally out!
