Six Sentence Sunday

I probably should have chosen something from FORESHADOW to post today, but I'm just having way too much fun writing OUROBOROS! It was so hard to choose. Here's six sentences from OUROBOROS, book one of The Zayin Chronicles. I just wrote this earlier this week, so please keep in mind that it's unedited.


           “Is it getting hot in here?”
            Zac coughed. “I think I smell smoke.”
            Glancing around, I noticed a light in one corner of the library that hadn’t been there a moment ago. As we watched in horror, an entire bookcase burst into flames. One by one, the fire began to encroach on the other bookcases—and it was heading for us.
