Hello, this is a little reminder to all those that still care about my existence (no I am not depressed lol), that I am still alive and am working on The Grove—which will probably have a different name soon.
I took a break from writing for at least 3 months, so I’m still at chapter 14–30+. This is still the first draft, so expect this to take a while.
For other news, I am also planning to write 3 novels set in the same universe (I’ve also been working on some simple world building so this world is much more flourished.)
Here is an excerpt from the first draft so far.
I stare as Cassidy piles the noodles onto his plate with a devious smile on his face. The sauce runs down the meat, and onto the noodles like a water fall. He places the dish back on the table with a slam. There is nothing left but a few mushrooms and noodles cut too short. I watch as he twirls the noodles onto his fork, the lump of noodles slowly increasing in size. He opens his mouth and chews. I can see a look of gratification on his face, pleasure, as he delights in the flavor.
“Oh that’s good,” he mocks me.
I want to watch his smile of pleasure fade as I stab a fork into his neck. I look at Zixin and hope that he understands that this glutton will do nothing to help us. Zixin simply focuses on eating.
This story is meant to be a somewhat emotional one, so I pray that it will have the impact I want it to.
Thank you for reading if you do find this.
Have a good day!
