Rules: share some writing!
I've decided to share the opening of my midterm project from my creative writing class. Unfortunately due to a stupid word limit, it's not that long. However, I got good comments on the dynamic between the two MCs, so I thought I'd share a bit.
The smacking was getting tiresome. Once she reached a red light, Mariah tore her eyes to her consultant in the passengerβs seat. βCan you eat that somewhere else?β
Ben stopped chewing for a second and glanced up at Mariah innocently. βItβs lunchtime.β
βSounds like you have a problem.β Mariah turned her gaze back to the light.
Ben muttered something about Mariah having a βstingyβ problem.
Mariah sighed. βWeβre almost at the mall.β
βIβll be busy looking at corpses,β Ben said bluntly. βIβd rather not puke.β
Mariah said nothing as the light turned green.
Mariah and Ben were originally in a script I wrote for my theater class called "Eternity." All I really have for them now is that Mariah is an FBI agent and Ben is a science consultant. My idea is for a potential anthology of the two solving scifi/supernatural cases.
