Six Sentence Sunday 8/21/2011

           
             Mia tapped the computer to call up Surfer Dude's medical history. Too many entries she could not access at her clearance level. He might be Lord of the Deep, but a spurt of unease hit her gut like a bad clam.
          “When was your last blood test?”
          “Maybe six months ago,” he said and held up a hand to cut off her sputter. "Haven't been with a nymph since."

HA!! Great six!

Jessica E. Subject said...

That last line is very seductive. I can hear him saying it. Great six!

Gem Sivad said...

Something tells me he looking to end his long "dry" spell.

Graylin Fox said...

So he is in serious need of a little 'spurt'ing of his own.

Liz said...

Hmmm...medical entries that were not at her clearance level and no nymphs for six month - lots of intriguing questions in six

Lisa Fox said...

"a spurt of unease hit her gut like a bad clam" - Wow! That's probably one of the best phrases I've read in a while.

Core blimey -- Surfer Dude, Lord of the Deep AND Sexy Beast!! *drools at the piccie*

I love Surfer Dude, and I'm waiting (not so patiently) to read the full story. Six Sunday has a lot to answer to LOL -- but in a good way :)

Just...darn it. Another excellent six that makes me want to buy the book yesterday.

Heather Thurmeier said...

I'm curious to see where this story is going. Great snippet!

Sandra Sookoo said...

lol Nicely done!

Paula Martin said...

Lots of intriguing questions from this six - why too many entries? why the unease? why the 6 months without a nymph? You've drawn me in to this story!

Liia Ann White said...

You left me wanting to read more.. again!

Sondra said...

Loved your six but honestly it was hard to concentrate with that gorgeous man staring out at me (well it was me in my dreams). I can't wait to see what develops.

LOL Six months eh? hehe Can't wait to read more from this story. :D

D Carney said...

That just made me laugh so hard!

Unknown said...

Well, he's straight-forward, isn't he? :)

Rebecca Royce said...

A lot of intriguing questions arise in my mind. Did he mean nymph as in woman or a paranormal nymph? Hmm. You had me at the clam line.

Jessica Knauss said...

This situation is so full of humor as well as mystery. Go, Surfer Dude!

Sue said...

ugh - bad clam taste - I love clams- and him - both yummy

Anonymous said...

Ha! Funny!

Zee Monodee said...

Lol. So nymphs are bad business now? :)

Cate Masters said...

Like a bad clam - too funny! Wonder if he'll be surprised that Mia has something else in mind? Hmmm, now I need to read more!

Piper said...

Awesome six! It makes the reader ask all the right questions and drives them just crazy enough to make them do anything to get their hands on more of this story. Good work.

lexcade said...

This world just gets more and more interesting every week. I can't wait to read the full story, either!

Fantastic six. Wonder how long before she ends his dry spell

Cherie Marks said...

Well, any man who can resist nymphs for months is a hero in my book.

Aimee Laine said...

I'm thinkin' I'm missin' some backstory to truly understand but the 'nymph' part has me intrigued. :)

Nice picture...I mean snippet! I hope nothing's seriously wrong with his health. We love Surfer Dude! He can't get sick now.

Vivien Dean said...

Interesting what's going on here. Must know what happens next!

Joanne Stewart said...

I too feel like I'm missing a bit of backstory, but I love that last line! Great six.

Lex Valentine said...

He's definitely a flirt!

Interesting sentences. Enjoying this story as I did before. Janet who for some reason is rejected for comments here.

Taryn Kincaid said...

Janet, of course you are not rejected! Select "Google Account" under "Comment as." You may have to sign in to your own blogger account, that's all. And you may have to click it a couple of times. Happens to me on blogger all the time!

Jenna said...

Boy, was he ever quick with the "no nymphs" line! But I hope he's not ill. Nothing worse than the Lord of the Deep a little green around the gills. LOL

E. P. Beaumont said...

I think that the thing that makes this is the offhand, casual way he reports "no nymphs"... it's ordinary to him, right? and of course there's all sorts of everything-else going on in the background; you've packed a lot in here.

Anonymous said...

No Nymphs! Poor surfer dude. LOL.

UGH - Couldn't post with Google account - signed in but it's not "sticking".

But are there other creatures he could have been with? ;-)

J.A. Beard said...

A lot of interesting character work and world building in this six.

Hailey Edwards said...

I can just hear him using his "I've been a good boy" voice to deliver that line. LOL

Bree said...

Surfer dude is too freaking hot!!

Monica Enderle Pierce said...

ROFL! You had me at the clam!

Unknown said...

HA! This was FABULOUS! I have to read this entire story! ;)

Chrystalla Thoma said...

I was off SSS for a few weeks, and I still love this story! I must have it! Is it out yet? :)

1000th.monkey said...

Sounds like the guy has quite the history ;) ...probably more than his medical records could tell her even IF she had clearance.

...and that is hilarious that you've got clams in your SSS submission this week too :)

Jayel Kaye said...

cold turkey-6 mos, huh?

Anonymous said...

Haven't been with a nymph since! HI-larious! :)
