Six Sentence Sunday 6/12/11

Back to Surfer Dude this week.

Our story up to now:  An intruder disturbs the beds of sleeping purple coral in his realm and Surfer Dude's only clue is a neon pink dive fin, size 5 1/2 M, stamped with the name "Dr. A. F. Wright" that the thief left beind when she fled. Now, on the night of his brother Cloud Boy's big ball, a raging headache sends Surfer Dude to the Sky Palace Spa Bay, seeking relief from the nymph-nurse. 

Where he meets Mia. 

“Name," the woman said, without looking up from her computer screens and the research materials spread before her across the Sky Palace Spa Bay reception desk.

"Pierce Cronoson.”

That got her attention. Ruling the oceans and rivers of New Mycenae definitely had its perks and bennies, Pierce thought.

"Oh!" The woman started, her gaze zeroing in on him like an omega ray just before a flurry of clumsy activity sent half her print-outs and discs sailing to the floor.

Love the way you wrote this. She wouldn't have given him the time of day until she knew who he was, so true to life. Name recognition really is everything!

Taryn Kincaid said...

His name's supposed to be sort of an updated reflection of the trident. Since he's a futuristic version of Poseidon.

Good, we're back to Surfer Dude. But I'm not sure if I like this or the historical better. Toss up. Guess I'll just have to buy both.
Love her reaction when he introduces himself.

Betty said...

You have to know more. Good job

'Membership' in the elite has its privileges. :)

Bit arrogant, ain't he? Wonder if that'll come back to bite him in the ass. I am intrigued!

I love a half naked man and the ocean. Can't wait for more. Thank-you.
