Hi everyone, and welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors post and Snippet Sunday.
Last weekend I said that I would be alternating between Demon and Fairy and Harajuku Kiss. I'm not sure how Harajuku Kiss will work for this but anyway, this week's snippet might surprise you.
About Harajuku Kiss
At times, life can be so depressing. She is walking her usual recovery
tour in Harajuku, finishing with a crepe, trying to forget that her
boyfriend dumped her once again for the week-end... When the unthinkable
happens... A boy stops in front of her in the street and kisses her, in
the middle of the street, before running away.
Trying to discover more about him, she is dragged into a dangerous game
of mystery. A biologist has been murdered and a deadly virus is on the
loose. First suspect: the mysterious Harajuku's stranger.
Today we start at the very beginning: Meet Kaji.
Here are my 8 sentences.
The
night was darker than Kaji remembered as he sat attached on a wooden
chair on the roof of the building, well above the lights of the city.
He breathed with a hoarse sound, almost unable to bear the pain
caused by every drop of air entering his lungs. How long had he been
here? Days? Weeks perhaps. He was still drugged when he woke up here.
He would have liked the change if it wasn't so cold. He had convinced
himself the city's night lights were the last thing he would see.
