For fun, thought I'd try something different and share some sentences from my short story, The Killer Valentine Ball for Six Sentence Sunday.
Jess wonders if maybe, just maybe, there's a way to save this one when she goes out on a blind date -- on V-Day of all days! (Can you say loser?)
Well, it turns out to be a night she'll never forget...
Six sentences from The Killer Valentine Ball by C.A. Verstraete
The music played quietly in the background. When the shadows brightened, Jess caught a quick glimpse of one of the couples. The young man's mouth gaped open. His partner's gown glistened with streams of dark ribbons. The light flashed again and Jess gasped. Those weren't ribbons!

Intriguing six. Great job.
I love a good, bloody Valentine. Great six!
I read Killer Valentine Ball,(had to purchase, with that title) and yep, you picked six lines that made me sit up and read faster. Great excerpt.
Oh god, it's blood??? Very intriguing! Great job!
Now I need to know more! Good job and love the cover!
OMG...if they are not ribbons...:S what a great excerpt!
Yikes! This one is scary!
Oh, love the way you left this hanging. Great job selecting your six!
Alrighty then.
Now you have me wondering what those dark ribbons, that aren't ribbons are.
I'm guessing they're something very ominous.
Oh my. Not ribbons? :-S
I own The Killer Valentine Ball! I enjoyed it. I'm not a horror fan, so normally I don't go for it, but it was "soft" horror, so I was able to enjoy it without getting all queasy.
sounds like my kind of short story!
*tries to stop giggling* I know that's not very nice, but her shock was just so great.
Good job. I want to know what happens next.
Eeeeew! Great description!
