Six Sentence Sunday 4-29-12

Excerpt from the very beginning of my women's novel, due out Sept. 22.  This is the working title, I'm sure it will soon change... 



                              How Long Does it Take to Fall Out of Love?


            We were drinking iced tea at our favorite sidewalk café when the plastics plant exploded.
            One moment Ronnie was checking my left hand to see if my wedding ring was still there, and the next thing I knew she was crawling across the blistered sidewalk in slow motion, reaching out for me.             Ronnie and I have been friends since college.  She and Carol were my dorm mates.  The best friends I've ever had.  But college was a long time ago. 



This begins the tale of Liz and Quinn.  The story is told in flashbacks as Liz struggles to find out if her husband, Quinn, has survived the explosion of the plastics plant where he works.   

That's it for today!  See ya next Sunday.  If you would like to participate in Six Sentence Sunday, simply go to http://www.sixsunday.com/
