Silver Pen: On a Doomed Trail by Shayne
Another of our intrepid sprinters has hit Silver Pen! Congratulations to Shayne for getting to that 15,000 word mark, and looking forward to seeing you hit 25,000 to get that Gold Pen. An excerpt from his NaNoWriMo project, On a Doomed Trail, is below. YAAAAHS.
On a Doomed Trail
You should not fear the darkness, only fear what it hides.
Excerpt
“COME.” Called the shadow worshipper again.
Joseph ran from his cover, he had to stop this madness, he had to save his son and his wife. Eliza had to follow, it was too dangerous for him otherwise. They were spotted almost immediately. The shadow worshipper commanding the shadow forth ordered those chanting to protect the ritual. It was nearing completion. One drew their blade the other drew his hands ready to fight with magic. A quick but intense fight played out between the four of them. The shadow worshiper by the wall between worlds was unharmed during the conflict and continued to draw forth the darkness. After a few intense moments there was a scream, like high pressured steam coming out of a small opening, everyone’s faces turned to the Eternal Arch. A black liquid like substance began to bleed out of the red cracks and slide down to the ground.
“THE GREAT SHADOW IS COMING!”
We’re so glad to have you on the team, Shayne. Keep writing and killing it!
