WeWriWa: Sporulators 9

WeWriWa: Sporulators 9

  Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, where we share snips and bits of amazing tales by talented authors and writers. Each week, participants sign up HERE at wewriwa.com then post 8 to 10 sentences of their work, published or unpublished (we like it all) on their own blog to go live by 9:00 AM each Sunday. Then we visit each other and read and 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, is HERE

      This week's snippet is from a short story, 'Sporulators', more dystopian/scifi, than anything I've written to date.

        Eastwold gritted his teeth but held his silence.   

       “They were building shelters out of cornstalks.” His voice bordered on wispy when he said, “Utopia.” 
        Then, as if he’d jerked out of a daydream, his voice resumed its condescending tone. “The sustainable world. We thought it all inside and out, from the ever-increasing dome sizes—which  I might add--were finally framed in cornstalks rather than metal shipped from off-world, to the small production plants to make dome film out of vegetable oil, even what to use to enhance a plant’s root system. Mycorrhizal inoculants, endophytic molds. Oh, and the mycoparasitic fungi to…”

 

 

 That's it for this week. Thanks for visiting! I am truly grateful for comments, suggestions, and for you taking the time to read it.
