Skating Spectacular Exhibition!

The crowning event of most skating competition is the exhibition. Skaters throw off the nerves of competing and often show the audience another side of their skating personality. How much fun is that?

However, with the RAH Skating Spectacular, the exhibition comes before the awards ceremony, giving each team the opportunity to earn more points toward their total score. It doesn't matter how well you've 'skated' during this event, your writing can participate in this exhibition.

And how do we do that?

It's really quite simple. Each exhibition consists of seven sentences from your current work in progress. It doesn't matter where in the work the sentences appear--but they should appear together :) No explanation of the excerpt...just post the sentences. Dialog, narrative, it doesn't matter.



Post your sentences in the comments section below using the following format...

Each exhibition will add 7 points to your team's totals.

Now, show us what you've got!!

    As they approached, the voices suddenly stilled. When Will emerged from the brush ahead of her, he was greeted with a collective groan.
    "Forget something, Will? Your flowers for Lady Robyn, perhaps?" Several men laughed.
    Robyn stepped out of the brush beside him. The group fell silent again.

  2. 600 feet to Hell

    "Jensen's gonna try to blame me for all this--and it's all his fault".
    "Oh, sure." Evie stared out into the night. "Please take me home, Mr. Fowler."
    "Gladly, Mrs. White."
    Roy rolled down the window and tossed his cigarette butt to the ground beside the car. The ensuing flash and rumble lit up the night sky as the third explosion in four days rocked Morton.

  3. As of yet with no name

    The same unlived in feeling touched an overstuffed sectional centered before a huge television.

    Grinning, Vianna traced a finger over the edge of a mottled granite counter, but it was the long island that drew her attention. Even under a faint blanket of dust, it sparkled. A crumpled rag perched on the corner of the island so she used it to swipe at the dust to expose the counter. A myriad of colors caught the light and she let out a soft “Oh”.

    “That counter is Ryder’s pride and joy. Made from recycled glass he picked up along the roads and mountain trails.”
