Hello everyone!
Welcome to Week-end Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday. NaNoWriMo started and I'm writing the 5th book in the Series. I know, only Demon Soul and Demon and Fairy are out but I already have full drafts for Demon World and Blue Angel and at the end of Blue Angel, the demons got stuck in the Fairy World and I can promise you they really hate that. I'll be uploading the draft on a daily basis so you can go have a look if you are interested (Warming: it's start pretty chaotic if you haven't read Blue Angel which draft is also uploaded) .
Here are my 8 sentences, we start where we left off last week. Here is the end of the conversation between Seti and his father.
“ Whatever, let’s go home,” his father had answered.
“ Whatever, let’s go home,” his father had answered.
“I
don’t want to go home,” Seti answered yelling covering the voice
of the Chaos in his head.
“You
little… ” His father started ready to hit him.
Seti
looked straight at him, expecting something, even being hit would have
been better than the complete lack of contacts he had been suffering
from, for the last four years. But his mum intervened, and his father
turned around to get ready to go, leaving him with the anger and the
headache. They didn’t even talk to him anymore, since that day
they had stopped being parents. He tried to make his father mad, to
get a reaction, but whatever he did or said, his father locked him in
his room, pushing him in with a broomstick when he didn’t want to
enter. When they came home from the park, his hands were still burning
with the Chaos.
Answer to last week's comments:
Cindy, unfair and not so unfair. I think I'm just getting a bit tired of Demon and Fairy. It has been more than a year and we are only 1/8 in, and I have a hell lot of other things written. And on the top of that the book is out, and I'm even giving it away for free if you ask nicely (or promise a review ;) ) So it's not like I'm just forbidding you to ever know the rest of the story.

Seti is testing his parents. I think there is always a time when a child managed to get what his parents' boundaries are and what he can manage to do even when it's not allowed. It is especially true for a child like Seti who has absolutely no guidance relating to his main problem.
Seti is not really getting stronger in front of the Chaos, not this time around at least.

Beautifully written. You've captured the sadness in Seti and what he's lost. Parents. Gut wrenching
ReplyDeleteWe all have some kind of Chaos inside us.
Very vivid snippet of a dysfunctional world!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awful way to be treated and by people who should love him. Another intriguing snippet!
ReplyDeleteVery true about Seti wanting a reaction - any reaction - from his father. I do love Seti! But if you decide to excerpt one of the other books for awhile, that'll be fine too...you have to do what works for you!
ReplyDeleteMy heart just aches for poor Seti.
ReplyDeleteThe father needs to shape up a bit.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks the heart a little....
ReplyDeleteNice work! You did a great job creating tension & evoking the feel of past moments.
ReplyDeleteGreat little snippet and I agree with Veronica ... kids do things for any reaction. Well done.
