One not so exciting day...

I have done nothing today... haven't even talked to anyone else.

So I thought I'd treat you all to a couple of paragraphs of the book I'm writing... it's draft draft.

It is an excerpt from chapter one... the novel is called "The Sea".

Enjoy.

Chapter One
Sand and Time

The wind blasted at the manor. A stranger stood one side of its security doors and one of its occupants on the other. She kicked at the security mesh as her eyes darted at him furiously. The man on the opposite side stood comfortably – knowing the security mesh had stayed put after heavier blows. He had a place to escape from the arid harsh planet, the mansion he dwelled in was the only one he knew of left standing. Sand hit her flesh like shards of sandpaper once they were picked up from the surrounding desolate tract.

“Let me in!” she screamed through the grit of her teeth.

“Why should I?” he asked, calm and curious.

“If you had a soul, a hint of humanity, you might.”

“Why should I let strangers dwell among my family?” He stated in his collected voice. Her hands wrapped one another in a cloth to stop the burning of her skin as sand wretched her follicles.

“I will pay you any price – please… I beg of you.” She pleaded with a solemn look on her face. She had realized that her violence would not consequent in anything good. A tear rolled down her cheek, she forgot the pain as she collected the droplet on the tip of her finger. She gazed at it, fascinated by its beautiful nature.

“You may wish to save your tears. You will need any amount of moisture you can retain.” He said looking bemused at her, wasting such a precious commodity. “Your money is no good here, no good anywhere. Burn it once the sun has vanished to keep your self warm.”

He knew she would soon die, as every other soul who had tried to survive out here had. He did not want to let any one else in, rations were thin already for the 4 that lived there. It would be safer for himself and his family if he declined her entrance.
