Last week, Matt gave Jessa a gun to protect them both, but she wasn't ready to take it. He convinced her to practice using it while it was unloaded so she can start to get used to it. That's where we pick up the story this week:
She may not have wanted to shoot before, but she learned quickly. Each time she practiced, her movements became
more fluid.
Matt smiled and allowed hope to gather inside him. Even though
shooting a person was different than pretending with a target, maybe she’d have
the guts to pull it off if he needed her to.
If there was a God, though, it wouldn’t come to that.
“This time, from where you’re standing right now, I want you to
imagine someone other than me coming through that door.”
Thanks for letting me share bits of my latest baby with you these last few weeks. Next week will be our last visit with Matt and Jessa so be sure to turn in! As for today, visit www.sixsunday.com for more snippets from other authors. And be sure to leave comments for them! (Authors love those!)
Great six, Alexa! Can't wait to read more :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cassandra!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time writing just six sentences :-P
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have a hard time picking out six sentences that make sense separated from the rest of the scene!
ReplyDeleteShe is, of course, going to have to shoot at someone, right? If so, great foretelling.
ReplyDeleteVirginia, all I'll admit to is that Jessa has some shooting...events later on. :-)
