Eight Days of Passion - Day Five

Day Four winner - January! Congratulations! Email me so I get the prize to you. :)

Are we having fun yet? Yesterdays answers were really great. OK. Here's today's excerpt:

Glenna trembled in the dampness of the cave. Gregor had taken her so deep she couldn’t hear anything but the constant dripping of water.

She bit her lip and moved to her left. Bugs. She just knew there were bugs crawling on her. She hated bugs, but she hated spiders more. And once she thought about a spider, every place on her body felt as though hundreds of tiny legs crawled on her.

At first she tried to ignore it. She couldn’t. She moved her hair out of her face, but the sensations steadily got worse. Her skin and scalp tingled just thinking of those nasty spiders. Every sound was those eight legs crawling on her.

‘Twas too much. She jumped up and ran in the general direction she thought Gregor had taken her. It didn’t matter how many times she told herself she was being silly for running from something she wasn’t sure she had felt, the fact was that there might have been something. Her fear was too much. She chided herself for not paying better attention after running into a couple of walls.

But then it was hard to notice when there was nothing but blackness around with the occasional torch to guide you. Her eyes had become accustomed to the dark, but not enough so she could really see.

She would have to talk to Conall about that. How did they expect a person to walk in this blackness?

Then she went face first in a spider web the size of a castle.

My special power would be to read minds, but only when I chose to do so. I'd want to be able to turn that ability on and off.

Carol M said...

I would love to have the power to always do or say the right thing to make others and myself happy! Congrats to all the winners! :)

Flying is a good one, Mel. No more planes for me. :)

Debbie, shapeshifting is another good one. Hmmm. wonder what I would shift into? lol

Donna Grant said...

Thanks, Nikki.

Donna Grant said...

Jolie, doll! Nice to "see" you again! I've been under a rock writing, but I've got a little break.

Hmmm. I like the mind reading too. That would come in handy, but then again, so would turning it off. :)
