The 777 Challenge

I’ve seen this challenge on a number of blogs, but haven’t been tagged. I like it, though, so I’m going to do it anyway! Who’s going to stop me? You?

The idea is to post 7 lines from the 7th page of your work in progress. Simple enough, right?

  1. “You shot me,” Eric murmured.
  2. The poor lighting left the corners in near complete darkness, which was fine since Eric couldn’t take his eyes off the steel operating tables in the centre of the space.
  3. Panic fully set in.
  4. He looked back at Eric with the same terrified look that Eric knew he was wearing himself.
  5. It had been stained so many times it was beige, except for the fresh still-red stains.
  6. He could feel his heartbeat throughout his entire body; it echoed in his ears, muffling all other sounds.
  7. None of their stories compared to the real thing.

Fun fact about this post: The WIP that these lines came from is about the enter its final (maybe) draft!
