- Turn to page 123.
- What is the first sentence on the page?
- The last sentence on the page?
- Now . . . connect them together….
(And no, you may not transcribe the entire page of the book–that’s cheating!)
Something boring and horrible: Death, that rapist, who comes in and walks around, and will not say what it is he wants, until he takes it. There was a path, I thought — I really thought that there must be a path — and Liam had wandered off it, and I wasn’t going out there to look for him, not this time.
I didn’t come up with a story for in-between the sentences as I thought these two were interesting enough just to stand on their own merits.

Very intriguing sentences, I have heard mixed reviews of this book but these two sentences have caught my interest, so I might give it ago.

They do stand well on their own.
They sure do! This book is on my TBR list!
Here is my BTT post!
