Here is a snippet from a current WIP. This short story is about the repercussions when Tyler breaks up with Gemma's by sending Rachel -the new girl on the block- to pass on the message.
A movement in the cave entrance caught her
attention. A spider scurried round its
web every time a rain drop landed on it. Poor spider, she thought, fooled by
the rain, just the same way she’d been fooled by Tyler.
Perhaps he’d come looking for her. Her heart
thudded in anticipation then resettled at its normal pace. Of course he
wouldn’t. Why would he tell her parents
he wanted to speak to her? The newbie,
what was her name… Rachel, had made a point of telling her Tyler asked her to
pass on his message…
Name The Day, my current novel, is available at Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble and many other outlets.

She's not in a very confident frame of mind, is she?
This is interesting---what's the premise?
Thanks for coming by Sarah, and pointing out I forgot to add a short summary of the story. All done now. :-)
Maybe Rachel wants Tyler for herself and made it up?
LOVED the spider analogy - really a terrific excerpt!
Interesting. I'm curious as to why she's in a cave and why he told her parents he wanted to speak to her. I hope you'll post more excerpts from this.
Perceptive, Elaine :-) Thanks for coming by.
So please you liked it Veronica, thanks for coming by.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here PT. I loved writing this scene too.
She gotta forget Tyler, sending another girl to break up for him... what the hell?
Thanks Linda. Not so much ignore Tyler as recognise spite when confronted with it :-0
