The Lucky Seven Meme

Posted by Raven M on 12:02 AM in lucky seven meme, teaser tuesday, things left unsaid,

So I was tagged in the Lucky Seven Meme by Morgan Hyde, whose entry you should seriously check out, especially if you like fantasy stories as much as I do. In case you missed it, I posted the first 250 of my current wip Dominion yesterday and since it's Teaser Tuesday and July 17th it only seems right that I do this meme. (Also, seven is my favorite number. I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the coolest number.)

Here are the rules:

1. Go to the 7th or 77th page of your current WIP
2. Go down to the 7th line
3. Copy the next 7 sentences or paragraphs and post them AS IS (no secret editing - the guilt monkeys will know).
4. Tag 7 other authors and let them know

I'm going to post a snippet from the first draft of my finished manuscript Things Left Unsaid. And I didn't edit it, so sorry if it sucks at the moment!

These past few months I’ve been walking around like a zombie, trying to figure out how to bring myself back to life, and for once I felt like I was finally living again.

I shook his hand. “Nice to meet you, Sam. My name is Claire.”

CHAPTER FIVE

“You shouldn’t talk to him.” I turned around to find Marianne close behind me.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, taking in the tired look in her eyes. The uninterested tone was absent from her voice. It was now replaced with a more serious one.

“Sam,” she replied. “He has a whole lot of issues.”

I rolled my eyes. “Don’t we all.”

I was getting ready to head back to my table when she grabbed a hold of my arm, her freshly manicured fingernails delving into my skin.

“Look, I don’t know you but I know him. He’s got some things he needs to work out and I should know. I used to…” She turned away for a moment before she met my eyes again. “I used to date him.”

I snatched my arm away not really in the mood for jealous ex-girlfriends. She frowned at me. “You’re young. There’s plenty of…”
