#SixSentenceSunday Week 15

Progress has been good this week. I am making strides on my manuscript. Yay!  I am also participating in NaNo this year. Hopefully that will give me the extra push to get this story finished. Woo! Here is another snippet from my WIP, Guardians.

The man slowly approached her and gestured with his hand again. Slowly, Alana pulled her pendant out from under her shirt and held it out to him without removing it from her neck. He nodded and touched it reverently.

"Would you like to see it?" she asked as she started to pull the chain over her head.

He shook his head and pressed his hand against hers, keeping the pendant in place. When she dropped the chain, he released her hand with a nod.

Thank you for reading! What do your six sentences say?

    Nice, simple interaction between the two. I can't wait for Nanowrimo to start. Good luck with your manuscript.

      Thank you! :) I was having a hard time finding a good spot to select.

    That he never speaks adds a wonderful mystery to this encounter. I imagine he can't speak, which makes me wonder about his history, his experiences. I like her generosity in offering to let him hold the pendant.

      Thank you! You are correct, he is not able to speak - not so much that he can't, but that he is unable. Thank you for reading!!

    Great imagery and pacing. Good luck with Nanowrimo - I'm doing it, too. :-)
