Last week we saw that the wrestling match has started. Cade hit Rocky with a chair, and he hasn't moved yet.
Excerpt:
The referee hustled over to Rocky. He took the precaution of
motioning Cade back, even though Cade had moved away and
wasn’t even close to Rocky. Bending over, he touched Rocky’s
shoulder and said something Aimee couldn’t hear. He barked an
order to the timekeeper, who picked up a radio.
Two paramedics, exuding competence and authority, rushed to the ring with a stretcher. They put Rocky in a neck brace and carefully loaded him onto the stretcher. As they trotted out of the arena, Rocky’s arm fell from where it lay on his chest. It looked so loose and floppy that Aimee screamed again. She ran behind the paramedics with tears and mascara streaming down her cheeks.
****
“Is it safe to sit up yet?” Rocky whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the ambulance siren.
Aimee slapped him.
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.

What a rascal! Any thing to get out of the fight and it worked. She, however, is in a major pickle. Good job, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI would have smacked him too!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Elaine.
OK, I'm laughing now, loved the way the snippet ends!
ReplyDeleteI thought he was really hurt. I would have socked him too. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun ending to the snippet. Nice job.

ReplyDeleteI think I would have slapped him too! Nice snippet.
Add me to the list of people who would have slapped him too. He'd be safer in the ring with an opponent armed with a chair!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Great ending. I'm glad she slapped him, but I had to chuckle a little too. :-)

Yes, I laughed too.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only one who gasped in horror and wondered "What's up with that?"
ReplyDeleteThe kicker at the end made me snicker. This is sooo wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an advocate for violence, but wow, did he deserve that slap!
ReplyDeleteI had a good laugh at the end. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteOh man, that ending! I totally laughed and pictured it perfectly. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, heeeeelllloooo! That's an unexpected twist! Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteWait, that was all totally staged? He didn't get up on purpose? Oh I would have slapped him, too! No, I would have slapped him more than once. Poor girl was given a heart attack and a half!
ReplyDeleteWell I agree with Daelyn, the poor girl was probably having a heart attack! Great snippet.
ReplyDeletethat last bit made me smile ... interesting twist.
