Another week already and time for Weekend Writing Warriors! We’re about to finish up the first scene!
I’ve been using snippets from my WIP currently called STOPPING BULLETS. My main character is a young woman, Justine, with a talent for stopping bullets and moving other things with her mind. She lives a secretive life to avoid becoming a lab rat somewhere. But her secret isn’t going to stay secret much longer.
I’ll continue from where I left off last week, where Quinn tried to stop Justine from leaving once he realized he recognized her. (For the full story so far, see my past SSS posts! The first one is here.) For context, the final line of that last post was “Once on the street, Quinn wouldn’t cause a scene.”
Here are the next eight!
And we’ve reached the end of Scene 1 of this story! Come back next week to see how she deals with this.
This is a work in progress, so with that in mind, I welcome your comments!
I have the feeling that Quinn is not going to be stopped at this. Especially if he is a detective.

You’ve got that right, Linda. Hard to stop a detective from finding out the truth… Thanks for stopping by!
Hmmm, interesting. Yes, Quinn will be on to her, can’t wait to read more! Great snippet.

Thanks so much, Veronica! Things are going to get complicated!
I like the details used to set up her faltering retreat. The heart doing the Alien routine was perfect.
Thanks, JM! Glad you like the Alien bit. I kinda liked it myself. 😉 Thanks for coming over!
Walk faster Justine!
Intriguing snippet. I’d say I’d like to be able to stop bullets with my mind, but I’d be scared of ending up a lab rat–or a dissection experiment.
Also, love the book stack and magnifying glass image!
My thoughts exactly, Caitlin! These days I think that’s more likely to happen than anything else! And thanks for the comment on my cover image. The blog is due for some redecorating, but maybe I’ll keep the image!
Loved the Alien reference, you’ve got my attention! Great 8.
Thanks, Ann! Glad to hear it! Some other critters (critiquers) have been baffled by it, so I’m glad it’s getting a good reception here. Thanks for commenting!
Ugh! You left me hanging! No way to back peddle over this I don’t think, and he sure isn’t going to let it drop. Can’t wait to see how she’s going to handle this.

Yes, had to leave it there, didn’t I? There’s more trouble brewing, so stay tuned!
Love the concept, especially about her not wanting to end up as a lab rat!

Yup, I sure wouldn’t want to be! Thanks for stopping by, PT!
Great detail in this scene – a clever detective – sounds like she’s in trouble!

Thanks, Sam! She certainly is in trouble. Trouble’s coming her way like a truck. Thanks for stopping by!
