Lucky 7

I came across this meme on C.B. Wentworth’s blog. I thought it would be interesting to see what I end up having to post, so here we go!

These are the rules of the meme:

1. Go to page 77 of your current MS (manuscript)
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines as they’re written– no cheating!
4. Tag 7 other writers
5. Let them know!

Though the rules state to tag 7 other writers, I’m just going to leave it open for people to steal if they so choose. 🙂

So here’s my excerpt, from my zombie novel, as per the rules:

She was a teenager in a very pretty skirt and blouse. A large chunk of her hair was missing and part of her collar bone had been broken and torn off in a very gruesome manner.

When she saw Nancy standing there, her vacant eyes went huge and she lunged forward.

Nancy shrieked and dove to the side, jamming her leg against a sink in the process. She stumbled to the floor and began rapidly crawling toward the door. She was just reaching for the door handle to pull herself up when a searing pain flew through her leg. The pain was so immense that she couldn’t even scream.

Not my best writing (this is a scene that needs some major editing), but I’m amused that the Lucky 7 rules brought me to a group of lines that actually stand alone pretty well. lol
