From “The Sauder Diaries — A Bloodier Rose “:

“So, tell me, Miss Coline,” Blackheart said after a sip of his wine. “What prompted you to jump that gunwale? It could not have been something you had ever anticipated doing.”

“Eh bien, mon capitaine,” she said with a youthful giggle, “it was a silly childhood game I used to play with my brothers and their friends. I was always getting captured by the pirates! They always seemed to have more fun than I did.”

If you’re not familiar with “Six Sentence Sunday”, swing over to http://www.sixsunday.com/ and take a look. Its a great idea; dozens of authors submitting the punchiest six lines out of existing or soon-to-arrive stories. Browse them; see what hooks you.

Hit the “Six Sunday” tag either at the end of this post or in the tag cloud on this page to see more of these here on “Split Horizons”.

“The Sauder Diaries – A Bloodier Rose” is the second book in the series, and picks up where “The Sauder Diaries – By Any Other Name” left off.
