As a psychologist on Earth she’d had to deal with Sloth’s victims
countless times. Some were stronger and were able to rid themselves of his
influence, but none ever returned the same. Once Sloth touched you… She wrapped
her arms around herself, her thoughts immediately turning to her sister Melisa. She’d never forgive herself
for missing it and ignoring his influence on her. She’d been so busy with others she’d failed to
see what was occurring in front of her own nose. Kaila gritted her teeth. It’d
be okay. That was why she was here. Today she was going to go in
there and pull her sister out of Sloth’s clutches whatever the cost.

Oh my, I love that hint of what motivates her here. Fabulous snippet, Elyzabeth :)
ReplyDeleteI love her motivation, and would not want to be Sloth. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI hope he is able to rescue her sister unharmed from Sloth's clutches. He does not sound like someone you would want to be involved with. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteI admire Kaila's determination to save her sister. Let's hope she succeeds! :D
ReplyDeleteOh my, a classic set up if I ever saw one, inagoodway - she's so sure she knows all the facts! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to her. Sloth sounds like a nasty bad guy.
ReplyDeleteSo it's truly personal. Hope she succeeds!
ReplyDeleteI so admire her determination. Can't wait to see if she succeeds. Sloth sounds like a bad-ass.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a strong character. I hope she can save her sister.
ReplyDeleteKaila is determined...good luck to her, and to Melisa. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow often that happens, Elyzabeth. And with dire consequences. Excellent energy in this piece.

ReplyDeleteSeems like there is a lot of guilt driven determination going on here.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it goes as she wishes. But I suspect it wouldn't. Great snippet, Elyzabeth.
