Beginning, Middle and End Blogfest!!!

It's time! Yay! And if you haven't signed up yet, you can still do it. Judging of the entries (if you can call it that) won't happen until Saturday.

So without any further ado, here's my entry. Because my book is a dual POV, the beginning section and middle section are from Lucy's POV, while the final paragraph is from Tony's.

Beginning

The darkness is absolute. I’m not sure if my eyes are open or closed. I strain to push the lids up, but they’re already wide. Something covers my mouth and nose, making breathing difficult. My lungs burn for air, but I can only suck in tiny mouthfuls through whatever smothers my face.

Middle

And it is just school. Ian enrolled me last week, so all I have to do is find the office and collect my class schedule. Then, of course, I have to find the right classrooms. The woman in the office is large and disorganized. Half-buried pens poke their noses out from under several precarious piles of paper.

“I know it’s here somewhere.” She shuffles through one of the stacks and I watch as an avalanche of forms cascades to the floor. Above me a clock ticks away the seconds with a sound like muffled gunfire. I sigh and lean on the counter. It’s only eight forty-two and already I’m exhausted.

End

As we walk, our shadows cutting a path through the moonlight, Lucy starts to sing.

Let me know what you think! And drop in on the other participant to see what they've got posted.
