The Rules:
Go to page 77 of your current MS.
Go to line 7.
Copy down the next 7 lines/sentences and post them as they’re written. No cheating.
I did follow the rules, but mostly because it worked out okay. Seven lines starting with the seventh line on the 77th page of my current MS, which is a 2nd draft.
This is from Form and Void, the manuscript I am currently editing. Lethe is in a cell with a CCTV camera on her. (The powers that be suspect her of being different and dangerous.) She has nominally befriended a voice on the other side of an intercom, who has just contrived to slip her a chess set with her dinner tray.
By the time she left the tray on the floor near the door, she considered it a personal triumph that she had only gagged twice.
She picked up the box and shook it. “Chess, eh?”
“Want to play?” Ben sounded eager.
Lethe smiled. “I might need a refresher on the rules. It’s been a while.”
“Okay. No problem.” He sounded pleased, maybe a little smug.
Oh, thought Lethe. You are going down.
