"The second sun crested the sky, and the forest smelled of death. There was a saying, in the mountains, that to walk carelessly through the woods was like attending a funeral; the acrid scent overwhelms, but wild flowers offer their condolences." #1stLinePit #SF #WIP #YA #CMe

Athragast stood on the stoop of a rickety farmhouse and steeled himself for yet another monotonous, destiny-fulfilling day. #1stLinePit #OS #AG - #A #F #COM #CZ

BLACK SHEEP x HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE There is a hunger that can never be sated, save by the spilling of blood. The people of Winnepa know it well. An ache dulled only by the beat of swift footsteps through the Appalachian forest. Nearer. Louder. Famished. #1stlinepit #wip #q #na #h

“Again.” Sweat drips off of my brow and onto the floor, joining the puddles already forming around me. We've been at this for three hours and this is the first time I've fallen. #1stLinePit #YA #F #WIP

PROLOGUE: The shovel was old enough to be an heirloom, the hands gripping it trembling enough to be a child’s. Jim hadn’t been a child in a very long time. A forge exhaled into his left ear, eddies of heat forming words. *Be of use.* And then— —nothing. #1stlinepit #Q #A #F #SF

HEARTLESS HUNTER x ALCHEMISED I should be used to dazzling a crowd by now, given how often I’m expected to shine. But every time one of these pageants comes around, a cloud of dread overshadows the excitement of preparation. #1stLinePit #YA #F #AmAgented
