The 777 Game

Author friend Rose Vanden Eynden tagged me in her blog post today. It’s a fun game, and here are the rules:

  1. Go to page 77 of your current work in progress.
  2. Scroll down 7 lines.
  3. Paste the next 7 sentences into your blog.
  4. Then tag 7 more authors to carry forward the 777 game. Add their links, and remember to link to the person who tagged you… (Also, let everyone know.)

From page 77 of DEATH PERCEPTION:

Antogonist Cecil Grinold puts protagonist Kennet Singleton to the test, to see if the young man really can discern cause of death by toasting marshmallows over the cremated remains of the deceased. But Grinold is up to no good, of course.

“I was just thinking of a little experiment.” Yes, why not find out whether my young employee is telling the truth or inventing tall tales? Knowing that his psychic “gift” was impossible, Cecil gloated about the time when he would fire Kennet for good. Hopefully, soon.

“Experiment?”

“Yes, Kennet. Are the marshmallows still here?”

“Unless you threw them away.”

“I should have, but I didn’t. Bring them out.”

“I hope there’s no problem . . . ”

“Relax. Just get the marshmallows.” Dummy.

Okay, so I posted a few more than 7 sentences, but it was a good breaking point. You can learn more about DEATH PERCEPTION here.

Rose’s links are at the beginning of this post, and here are links to 7 of my friends’ blogs. Check them out. Read their stuff. Support writers!
