In last week's excerpt we learned that Aimee works in Rocky's wrestling show and doesn't like her dress because it's so cheap looking. The match has begun, but Rocky is getting the worst of it.
Excerpt:
Before he could get to his feet, Cade slipped under the
bottom rope and shoved one of the timekeepers from his chair. He
grabbed the chair and took it into the ring with him. As the crowd
roared and screamed, he smashed Rocky from behind with the
chair.
Don’t panic, don’t panic, don’t panic.
Cade paraded around the ring, jeering at the audience and gloating over Rocky’s fall. Rocky should have gotten to his feet by now, but he hadn’t moved a muscle. Cade strutted across the ring and kicked his leg hard. Rocky didn’t move.
Aimee didn’t realize she had gotten to her feet and was moving until she bumped into the ring. “Rocky, get up,” she screamed, her voice reverberating around the now strangely silent arena.
Blurb:
Aimee Sherwood never dreamed that following her fiancĂ© 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.

ReplyDeleteSounds as though he is out for the count. Hope he gets up.
Great scene. Very visual and ends with a tense hanger.
ReplyDeleteOh! No! Get up, get up, get up!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent energy in this snippet, had me on the edge of my seat!
Very tense - I hope Rocky's OK!
ReplyDeleteElaine, Millie here in Moderator role...could you make your link back to wewriwa a workable one? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, disaster strikes....a very ominous tone to the snippet but I enjoyed it - effective.
ReplyDeleteI hope Rocky get's up, and not just before he's counted out! Nice tension in this snippet!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a scene and that slime who hit Rocky so unfairly. I felt like jumping in to smash his creepy face. Good scene, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds Rocky got hit by a REAL chair, not a WRESTLING chair, if you get the difference between the two.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's gone too far and not faking it.
ReplyDeleteEeek, that went wrong quickly! And what is Cade's problem?
ReplyDeleteI definitely could feel her concern. I hope he's okay.
ReplyDeleteOooo this is not going well... :S
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why these sorts of things can be so dangerous. Basically, if someone doesn't get up, or at least wake up, within a few seconds, there's damage. Not good at all!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Rocky's in big trouble. You left us waiting with bated breath. Will he get up? Wont he?
ReplyDeleteGreat scene, very visual and tense!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I read the whole thing on the edge of my seat. Great snippet!

Geez, I only hope that Rocky is unconscious. Very vivid description. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteOooooh shiiiiit. Well, that's not a good sign! Let's pray he's just unconscious and not seriously injured.
