One Soul for Sale on Six Sentence Sunday


 Thanks to all for your comments last week! It's so gratifying to hear positive comments. I truly appreciate it.

This week is the last of four 2011 EPIC finalists, One Soul for Sale. In this scene, Madelyn has just sold her soul on uBuy, and meets with the mysterious man who purchased it, who'd given her a task to complete that day. Feeling that her soul hung in the balance, Madelyn completed the task, but not without cost.


When he walks toward her, smiling as he sits across from her, she finds his perfection a tad irritating. His teeth are too dazzling white, his black clothing too obvious in their wannabe mysteriousness. She wants to reach over and tousle his hair, but he’d probably look even better that way, so she rejects the notion. 

As he reaches for her hand across the tabletop, she’s resolved not to be deterred by his many charms. “I had a very interesting day today. But you know that – you were there.”
