#WIPSnips 12.4.26 "Lantern" another substitute. "Chandelier" The aftermath of a raid. The Hill brothers, being reckless, threw grenades into a foyer. Garlic & Gunpowder, two unlikely sets of siblings must team up and survive an apocalyptic L.A. #thriller #apocalypse #writesky

“That chandelier was a custom 84-light Olser; there are only three in existence. One in the Élysée Palace, one in a private vault in Switzerland, the one you managed to turn into wall filler.” She shook her head and then walked into the yard.

#WIPSnips 11.4.26 "Milk" I don't have milk, but I have cheese. In some form, that counts, right? From Garlic & Gunpowder, an action thriller about a set of mercenaries that team up with a set of vampire slayers to survive an apocalyptic LA.

Text that reads:
Hunter tsked and fired up the Barracuda.

His older brother ran a hand through his greasy blond hair, shoved a handful of cheese puffs in his mouth, and handed Hunter an energy drink. He took out the small business card from their “client” and flipped it over a few times.

“Alejandro Munoz,” he said, musing over the scrawled name of their hit. “What ’ya think he did?”

Hunter shrugged and pulled onto the road toward the on-ramp. “Or didn’t do,” Liam continued. He whistled and tapped the card against the palm of his cheese-dusted hand. “One point five mil. We ain't seen that much since the Pines-” He trailed off as Hunter white-knuckled the steering wheel.

Hunter swore he’d never go back to California — he couldn’t think about the state without seeing Eli’s eyes glaze over on the hotel floor. A million dollars was enough to soothe his older brother’s grief, apparently.

#WIPSnips 10.4.26 "Process" The only time it appears in this work. From Garlic & Gunpowder, an action thriller about zombie vampires taking over L.A. They are trapped in an elevator and trying to get out. #writesky #actionthriller #vampires #zombies#writingprompts

A black box over a smoke elevators with the text in red reading :“Looks like it’s up to me,” Hunter said in a harsh voice. The younger Hill walked over to his brother and grabbed a crowbar from the bag. He moved past Yelena and Erik, then jammed the bar between the doors.

They were heavy, and a vein pulsed in his neck as he strained against them. Erik walked over and grabbed the bar opposite him, and pulled. The doors inched open with a groan. The floor was a little more than halfway up the car, with another set of doors beyond. Hunter cursed, then he and Erik repeated the process.

#WIPSnips Jan 20th, "Troll" I don't have that so monster. Also from chapter 5, a few moments after my last snippet. Elias speaking with Asmodeus in his head. Bargaing to be healed. #writesky #romancewriter #post-apocalypse

A photo of a narrow staircase in a decayed building with text overlayed:
*Free me!*

"I wish I could exorcise you." Elias sneered. He was promised power, and power he got, but the cost was too high. Not just touch, but Adam's leash, and this cursed monster in his head. If only he could find a reprieve. "If you heal me, completely, I will give you free reign."

Amusement and satisfaction rolled through the smoke as if someone ran a hand through dust in a sunbeam.

I *will lead the blind.*

#WIPSnips January 18th From Revenant Seraphim (1st draft) Sam, a rover in the Post-Apocalyptic west, has been captured by a raiding band thought to be lost to myth, the Seraphim, now she must escape or risk becoming a monster with them. #writesky #romance #postapocalypse

A screen shot reading
The wagon rumbled down the ancient interstate. Nothing more than a flattened line cutting through the wilds. Despite a century of neglect, the places the old ones had carved into hills and mountains were clear. Like a giant had stepped on them and left a trail. Slabs of asphalt still remained. With tall grass growing through them. Some upturned; while others crumbled under foot.

#WIPSnips Jan. 17th "Gold" Revenant Seraphim (1st draft), a post-apocalyptic dark supernatural romance #writesky #postapocalypse #romancewriter

A screen shot reading:
"There isn't a name for it. Other than what you felt." He stood up and walked over to the steps of the deck to sit. "It was my fault. I'm sorry."

Sam snapped her head towards him. The smoke was gone, now. He was just Elias, in his stained white cloak and long golden hair. He looked harmless now, slumped over his knees.

He wasn't though."What was that?" She asked him between breaths.

#WIPSnips Jan. 16th "Brain." Revenant Seraphim(1st draft), a post-apocalyptic, dark supernatural romance. #writesky #writer #postapocalypse #romancewriter

A screen shot that reads:
"I like the joy of your company." He said with a sneer. "No, You want to prove something, you can be my gopher for the next few days. You need to know where the food is." Sam thought of the small furry creatures. They weren't around here, she didn't understand what he was getting at, but she nodded.

Her bemused face must have clicked in his brain. He laughed. "My assistant, my lacky. I say fetch, you fetch."

"Does that mean I am free to roam the wagons?" Sam asked.

"No." He said. "You know better than that." Elias waved her on as another coughing fit took hold of him.

#WIPSnips January 15th I don't have managers, so Captain will do. A man is healing rapidly after an injury to his head. It describes it. Mentions bodily harm. #Writesky #Post-apocalypse #romance #horror

A screen shot depicting a scene were a man who was injury heals unnatrually that reads: CW Blood mentioned and bodily harm.
The "Captain" stirred on the floor. One hand climbing up the table leg while the other threw back his hood. A thick mohawk flopped into his face. The tattoos on his temple were mishappen from where the breaker struck. Dark black blood ran down his face.

No.

It ran up his face. Back into the wound, with a creak, his skull popped out, as though the injury hadn't happen. He looked at her with two iron spheres where his eyes should have been. A rust colored tear ran down his cheek.

The word "blood" is censored in the screen shot.

#WIPSnips Jan 12th, "Tentacle". I used "tendril." as tentacles don't make an appearance in any of my work so far. From Revenant Seraphim (first draft), a post-apocalyptic, dark supernatural romance. The first "appearance" of the entity known as Amaymon. #writesky #postapocalypse #romance #horror

A screenshot of a written passage that reads: "A monster." Gabe said. His eyes rolled into his head, replaced with two spheres of dull gray, mottled with red and brimming with orange tears. He groaned and slumped forward. His skin started flaking onto the dusted carpet. Like an insect shedding.

She moved until she was pressed against the cracked wall. The creature that had been Gabe lurched forward. Six long iron tendrils burst from his back, rusted from old blood and slick with a fresh coat. They drove down into the floor, catching his body from falling. Jagged spikes tore his mask from his mouth. A metal maw that snapped open and shut with loud clicks.

"Is this the monster you wanted?" A voice reverberated in Sam's head.

The word "tendrils" is highlighted in purple.

#WIPSnips Jan 11th,From Revenant Seraphim (first draft), a post-apocalypse, dark supernatural romance. #writesky #writer #postapocalypse #romance

A screenshot of a black screen with white writing that reads:
The man pushed her back, Sam's feet twisted over themselves and she landed with a loud clang. He pulled his mask back over his face and his gray eyes bore down on her. "What's your name?"

She ignored him as she struggled to her feet. she could run around the perimeter and find a safe place to climb down. The horde couldn't surround the whole settlement. A flash of white sparked across her vision and then everything went black.

#WIPSnips 1.10 "fifth". From the first draft of Revenant Seraphim, an adult post-apocalyptic, supernatural romance. Didn't have "fifth" so you get "five" #writer #romance #postapocalypse

Written passage that reads:
She could run in a straight line to the trees growing along a river north of them. But she couldn't tell if that distance was two miles or five. Long grass blurred shadows and hid gullies that appeared out of nowhere. Sam would break her fool neck trying.

No, running now would dumb. The humiliation of being carried back like a sack of grain made her cheeks burn. She agreed to this insane escape plan; she needed to stay.
