One minute to midnight.
She had to get out of here.
Mia tucked the tiny purple polyps she’d harvested into a temperature-controlled specimen pouch and glanced at the Air Surround bubble heading toward her, ever larger, ever more ominous.
She couldn’t make out the regal seal from this distance, but there was no mistaking the swimmer floating within the shimmering orb.
Grasping the blade strapped to the hip of her wet suit, she sliced through the neon pink dive fin wedged between ridges of coral.
She had no choice.

Crap! I hate when I get sucked in to something...then it's taken away! :( What happens next?
Ooooh, I like this a lot! Great six !
This is fabulous! I look forward to reading so much more of this story.
She's efficient, focused, intelligent and not easily frightened. I know all of that from your great six!
I love this story!
Sounds like an interesting story! Wonder who is inside the bubble...hmmm?
Ohh, Taryn, I'm loving this! The whole orbby thing, and the action--love how you choreographed that scene. Fab six :) It gives a real sense of urgency. And agreed, this is one six I'd love to have carried on to finish the scene. Grrr
Oh wow that was a great snippet!
I'm so intrigued
Love this six, Taryn! Great job!
Very nice - never knew you wrote some paranormal fantasy.
Love this story, I can't wait to read more every week. The picture is stunning.
I write just about everything! SLEEPY HOLLOW DREAMS is an erotic urban fantasy paranormal.
This book was envisioned as the second in a series. The first book is the doomed Book of My Heart.
I loved the snippet! Sounds like a great story.
Thanks for sharing. I am trying to picture what's inside the bubble and my imagination can't help but run a little wild... :)
Very cool six. And aren't all "book of my hearts" doomed? Mine is.
Awesome six: it made me curious about (and totally impressed with) the world. Harvesting polyps sounds disgusting! Looking forward to more of this.
Honestly, you had me at "Surfer Dude, Lord of the Deep."
The six great sentences were a bonus.
Kind of like that guy cutting his arm off to get free.
Makes me wonder who the swimmer is. Nice show.
Okay, I'm hooked. Who is he? What's going on? I want more.
Nice snippet. Keep working on it!
An excellent opening, especially as it encapsulates the wonders of this world right up front. I shall be watching for this! I guess I'll have to post my six sentences in a bit, but first going to make the rounds to see other blogs' sentences.
Desperate times and all that... great six!
Taryn, You'd better either give us more then get it out so we can read the whole story. This is to something to keep us hanging
Oh, just so you know...the polyps aren't disgusting; they're living coral.
Vivid and mysterious! I want to know more about who she is and what's going on!
Wow, sounds awesome! Great six :)
Great set up - you've intrigued me!
Wow, what an innovative worldbuilding! I love it.
