Sweet Saturday Samples - 29th Sept.

Thank you to everyone who visits every week and to those joining us all this week. Click here-> Sweet Saturday Samples to enjoy many other fabulous excerpts.

This week I'm sharing one more snippet of my short paranormal story, Riddick. 

“What kind of behaviour is that, I’d like to know?” Hands on hips and flashing green eyes told me what he thought of my instinctive reaction to his presence.

“I’m very sorry,” I kept my voice penitent, and reached my hand down for him to step onto. “I didn’t know you were there.

“Didn’t know I was there?” His indignation ripped over me, like waves in a storm. “Of course you knew I was there. You were looking right at me.”

“I was looking at a moth.” I corrected. He didn’t have sole rights to indignation, and mine was growing exponentially with every twist and turn in the unfolding situation.

“Like I say.” His satisfaction flowed over me liked warm honey.” You were looking right at me.”

He's very arrogant for being so small! Wonder if he can grow to man size? If so, then what! She might want to be more careful...

Thanks for stopping by my site. :)

Dianne, (I'm sorry, I think I've mispelled your name a couple of times.)
Thanks for your comments and company.
I don't know what's going on, but I'm having some major problems trying to leave comments on some sites again this week.
