Hello my Freaky Darlings! Since it's Tuesday, here's a short extract from The Race. A warrior with a broadsword and the arms of Arnold Schwarzenegger crested the hill. It was like watching a clash of titans. The two women circled each other, testing each other’s weaknesses. It wasn't an even match. My Spaniard was faster, but the female version of Arnie was stronger, much stronger. Each time she swung the sword, I thought she'd cut my saviour in two. But then the Spaniard ducked to the side, and Arnie overcompensated. She lost her head, quite literally. It was over so quickly. I'd seen people’s heads being chopped off in horror movies, but seeing it, in reality, was so very different. I threw up again, and the Spaniard celebrated her victory by picking up Arnie's head by her hair and thrusting it up into the air for the chopper to see. She then flung the head over the precipice. “Here,” she said as she thrust Arnie's broadsword at me. I could barely wrap my hand around its cold, metal hilt. Why couldn't she have killed someone with a lighter sword, something like a Japanese Katana? Not that I knew anything about swords, but I’d watched enough Martial Arts movies to know that those were the sort of swords I’d be able to at least carry, or wrap my hand around the hilt. “I can't use this,” I said as I tried to pick it up. “It's too heavy.” “Grow stronger.” She shrugged and was running again before I could voice any more objections. *Download The Race for FREE from your favourite ebook store now.* https://books2read.com/u/4EWP9e #actionadventure #teasertuesday #teazertuesday #kobo #koboreads #ibooks #googleplay #googleplaybooks #nookbooks #igreads #kindlereads #bookstagram #bookquotes #applebooks #applebook #ebookstagram #ebook #ebookdragon #ebookreaders #ebooklover #darkandtwistedfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvwQVLgrf4/?igshid=1d6y5eb5yyj3e
