Rainbow Snippet March 19-20

3/19/2016

16 Comments

 
It's weekend and time for Rainbow Snippets! As always, don't forget to go to the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook to read six sentence snippets from great authors. I'm going back to The Prince's Consort for my snippet this week. Two weeks ago, we had Amory's father's horrible proposal to Prince Philip, and here is a little bit of what Amory feels right after.
Picture



​Shock and horror churned in his stomach and made ice of his veins.
His thoughts whirled in dizzying circles. Struggling to keep up with the prince as they walked, he no longer saw the beauty of the palace, and hardly realized how close he was to the handsome prince. The only thought he could hold on to was the hope that he wasn’t going to be sick right there. He was embarrassed enough—he could not be sick in front of the prince. Concentrating on the sound of their footsteps, curiously in step, he forced himself to breathe. 



Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Yeah, I can understand his reaction after what happened last time. I'd be feeling sick too!

Me too! This is so much worse than anything he could have imagined happening. Thanks for reading!

Very nice. Poor Amory. I just bought this one and am looking forward to seeing how this plays out. :-)

He's doing his best to keep it together in a bad situation.

I love the description of how he's feeling, and the way he focuses on something else to control himself.
