In last week's excerpt we learned that Rocky a WWE type wrestler learned to play the bagpipes for the crowd before the match began. Today they're on their way to the ring.
Excerpt: (A bit of creative punctuation here so I could get in what I needed to today.)
Rocky grabbed the pipes, and Aimee followed him down the
long, gray hall that ran from the dressing room to the wrestling
ring. She could hear Cade McCoy, Rocky’s opponent, taunting the
audience. Boos, hisses, and jeers punctuated everything he said.
As they appeared in the doorway leading into the arena, speakers blasted Rocky’s theme song as the announcer roared, “Ladies and gentlemen, Rocky Stone is in the building!”
Spotlights blinded Aimee when they hit her; Rocky gave her a masterful kiss as dry ice sent fog roiling around them. With Rocky striding out in front, she and Thin Lips Rich followed, waving to the crowd and clapping the entire time. Rich spread the ropes apart for her and Rocky to enter the ring.
She strutted around, throwing kisses and motioning for the audience to stand up. The crowd went crazy when a wild swirl of bagpipe music filled the arena; They loved Rocky’s show. Clapping in unison, they cheered, “Rock-y. Rock-y. Rock-y.”

Blurb:
Aimee Sherwood never dreamed that following her fiancé into the witness protection pro-gram would land her in a haunted house in a town that’s downright creepy. She’d have laughed if she had been told the guy who lives down the road might be her soul mate, not the man whose ring she’s wearing. Life in West Virginia is nothing like life in Los Angeles, but between bean ball battles with Marilyn Monroe, remodeling a crumbling farmhouse, and starting a new online business, life in the country is anything but boring.

So that's what she did before Witness Protection. Good snippet, Elaine. :)
ReplyDeleteQuite the flamboyant entrance! It seems rather typical of wrestling, although I know almost nothing about about it beyond the stereotypes.
ReplyDeleteThat's spot on for professional wrestling! Great job.

Delightful. I'm with you, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteQuite a performance!
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet! After that entrance I want to watch the combat!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, loved all the description! Terrific excerpt!
ReplyDeleteGreat description. Sounds like quite a show.
ReplyDeleteGreat scene-setting. I felt like I was there!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a look into her personality. At the same time, it raises questions. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWonderful scene! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to fit quite well with wrestling mania. :-) The bigger the spectacle, the better.
ReplyDeleteGreat imagery! I can certainly picture it perfectly! I guess the bagpipes were a great idea. I know she doesn't seem too thrilled about his wrestling, so I'm surprised she goes out in the arena with him like that.
ReplyDeleteThey're engaged, Daelyn, and Aimee is super loyal.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting imagery! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the entrance and the chanting. I could picture it perfectly.
