MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:*Grab your current read.
*Open to a random page.*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others.
*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser.Here's mine from "Eyes I Dare Not Meet in Dreams" a short story in Prayers to Broken Stones by Dan Simmons (p. 41):
The morning seemed to last forever. It rained before lunch, and for a while it looked as if the swimming would be canceled. Then the sun came out and illuminated the flowerbeds on the front lawn. Bremen watched sunlight dance off the moistened petals of Turk's prize roses and listened to the roar of the lawnmower. He realized that it was going to happen.
The tiger did not know they were bombs. He did not know anything beyond the hiss and screech of the fighters passing overhead, missiles falling, the sound of bears bellowing in another part of the fortress, the sudden silence of birds.
