Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! I hope you enjoy these six sentences from what is currently chapter one of my WIP. My main character is pondering some of her favorite semi-believable myths:
For one, she was a firm believer in
moon-flyers, she swore she saw one while camping with her mother as a young
girl. She also -until this assignment-
enjoyed reading the evidence about how humans used to have ten digits on their
feet until “evolution deemed the most lateral toe obsolete.”
The most
hilarious tale was the pre-digital moon landing. It supposedly took place in the year 1212
Pre-Settlement Era, as if any space
travel was possible with computers that ran on mere megabytes.
Then there was her favorite
myth: the male. The idea of such a creature was both
frightening and intriguing.
I hope you enjoyed my six! Make sure to check out other great reads at Six Sentence Sunday.
