Greetings, all!
I am pleased to announce that I have officially finished my
WIP, Mission: Metal!!! I’m so excited! It’s the first long story that I have
ever finished. In celebration, I wanted to share some snippets, collages, and
some songs that I wrote this story to with you all.
Snippets
*
Shae smiled at the bright orange
color of Archer’s message. Normally she hated the color orange, but Archer had
set her comdev to show the brightest colors whenever he sent her a message.
Everyone else got the darker colors; blue, green, or black. Now she was
beginning to think of Archer in correlation to bright colors.
*
Ian nodded. “What can I do?”
“Want to help me with the big gun?”
Archer asked, with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
Ian stared in disbelief.
“Seriously?” He had wanted to help with the cannon ever since he had first set
eyes on it, years ago. Archer had never let him. Until now.
Archer nodded. “Sure; I do need an
assistant.”
Ian got up and saluted. “Yes sir!”
Turning to go, he ran into Liam the scout. Liam grabbed Ian to steady him.
“Whoa there, son. Watch where
you’re going,” he said, letting go of Ian and nodding at Archer.
Ian’s face turned red.
“Sorry-sorry, sir. Yes-yes sir!” He turned and ran off again, this time more
careful to watch where he was going.
Liam chuckled. “Kids.”
*
Shae could see Ian’s eyes now;
instead of the bright golden color they had been before they were now a dark
hazel, haunted and frightened.
*
They sat there together, a broken
family; and yet they were somehow stronger than before.
*
Shae gripped her Glock.
The men
rounded the corner, guns held at the ready.
Shae
grabbed the metal bar, flipped herself up, and pressed the top button of a
detonator.
The
hall was a cold gray one moment; the next was it was a bright red and gold.
Collages
This one is for a
character that doesn’t actually show up in the book; Dojan, and it’s about his
backstory.
This is for my
awesome character Liam.
This one is for my
main character, Shae.
Songs
Well, that’s a little
taste of my story. I still can’t believe it’s over! I’ve been working on it for
almost an entire year now.
