This weeks snippet comes from one of my prompts I did a couple of weeks ago…..
Max grabbed his car keys and ran to his car. He drove like a mad man, past caring about speeding fines, points, or other peoples lives.
He ran through the corridors, pushing past orderlies and other patients and finally arrived at the door to his wife’s room. He paused, took a deep breath, and tried to compose himself.
As he entered, his mother in law stood up.
“Oh Max, thank god you’re here.”
I’m thinking poor Max’s wife is in a coma. I’m such a happy soul lol

If she is in a coma, makes her dialogue easier (lol)

you smart girl
You do write some cheery stuff!
Ha ha ha, I know!
I’m beginning to wonder whether the Mills and Boon idea is a BIG mistake Patsy lol

What if Max’s wife was in a coma and has woken up. He’s rushing to her bedside, not because he loves her, but because he’s worried what she’ll say. What if, over the months Max has been visiting his wife, he has fallen in love with the nurse caring for her. They make love, passionately, talk about being together when his wife’s machine is switched off. (Or even plan to kill her). The twist: Max’s wife tells her mother everything that Max and the nurse have done and said. When Max arrives at the hospital the police are waiting for him, and he and the nurse are arrested. Not a romance, but…
He he he, well done Maddie

Lol. Love it!
You hooked me in. I want to know what’s happened to Max’s wife. Whenever a character is in a rush, all the sudden the reader is in a rush. The trick is to not stumble over words, and you do a great job writing a character in a rush!
Thanks honey

Isn’t that the best thing about writing – creating a world that captures your reader?
Oh definitely Mandy

Not a chance! I have a strict no-dead-things-that-eat-me policy! Although I did survive a zombie apocalypse in a comment once.
Lol xx
