Photos snagged by Denny S. Bryce from the Internet of TNT's Leverage, various episodes. Sunday night, January 15, season finale!
It's Six Sentence Sunday. My six is from my WIP, The Vampire Lust Club, an urban fantasy. In this excerpt, the hero is working a multiple homicide crime scene in the labyrinth of tunnels beneath Washington, DC (circa 2045).
Detective Michael Pepperdine stood at the top of the second set of broken escalators and pushed his sunglasses up on his nose. The heat from the LED lighting system could dust a Stage Three vampire in twenty seconds. The same lights shattered a human being's optic nerves in less than fifteen. A pair of specially treated sunglasses and a hell of a lot of sunblock were always in his equipment bag and considered more important than a fingerprint kit, camera, or iPad 25. Shit, the only other tool he needed this far beneath the ground was a wooden stake. Old school, yeah, but he'd take the classics any day over this new age bullshit, especially when it came to hunting vampires.
Don't forget to visit Six Sentence Sunday and check out the other writers' six sentences. Enjoy!
That's a cool set up, I love the way you went old school. Would love to read more of this.
ReplyDeleteso what's the new school? the tunnels under the buildings in Houston won't fry man or vampire but if you want to lose someone it's the place to go. We were just in Houston. As always love your creativity
ReplyDeleteLove the voice and the futuristic details to the vampire story, great 6!
ReplyDeleteLove the details, well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat six--I get a sense of Pepperdine just from these.
ReplyDeleteAnd excellent images---are you ready for tonight's season finale?
Sarah W - I am SO ready for the season finale. Although I think I may be disappointed because I won't get any Parker/Hardison moments:( ... they are my OTP:)...
ReplyDeleteWonderful six! I love vampires!! I love the 'futuristic' detail and 'old school' reference. A pleasure to read! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting!!! Love the ipad 25! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm echoing others here, but I think you have nailed the voice. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOooh, good. That futuristic take or stake always does it for me. The Vampire Lust Club, yep, luv that.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of 'stages' of vampirism.
ReplyDeleteThe eternal arguments about ways and means... in an uncanny context. Nicely done.
