Weekend Writing Warriors May 22, 2016

Hello all my fellow Warriors (and Snippeteers)! :-) 

Weekend Writing Warriors is a weekly bloghop.  Each week, participants sign up HERE at wewriwa.com, then post 8 to 10 sentences of their work, published or unpublished, on their own blog to go live before 9:00 AM Sunday EST. (We check signups and remove links when we don't find a wewriwa post-- to save our participants from clicking on empty links--so please have it live by 9:00 Sunday morning--eastern USA) Then we visit each other and read, comment, critique, encourage--all those things that do a solitary writer's heart good.
              Snippet Sunday group from facebook--not us, but many of our participants do both, can be found HERE

Setup:  Earth has been invaded by aliens, galactic slavers. Our MC, Lily, and her dog, Jobe, were captured.     It's morning, and Lily is about to realize that an alien ship is coming toward them at the playground where they've spent the night.  .  
 

"The morning air was still as death, and smelled of death, too. One of the aliens smirked while he sat on a swing that had a seat much too small for him. The chains made a tired, rusty creak as he swung. Lily wished she had a two-by-four. She’d use it to wipe that creepy grin right off his face. 

As if choreographed to perfection, all of their faces lifted to look skyward. Then Lily heard it, the sound of approaching aircraft. Please dear God, she prayed silently, let it be friendly--a rescue maybe? After getting a closer look, terror gripped her. The descending ship had the insignia she'd seen on the news--back before Pittsburgh's TV stations had all been destroyed in a flash of corkscrewing blue light.”

That's it. Lily and Jobe are about to leave Earth--much against their will.  Thanks for visiting and giving this a read. I am truly grateful for feedback. :-)
