"She said the thing had tabby fur, and I fount a bit near the jello wet spot. With skin." Nicole watched Dad.
A semi thundered by, breaking wind like a fat man. Shorty Winsome hunched his shoulders before he slid sideways between two enormous eucalyptus trunks, down into the bark-and-trash-filled gully, all kinds of crap getting into his shoes. Better no one saw him. The cops'd yank him off the highway, any excuse. Didn't like hobos out here near heavy traffic.

Interesting 56. I don't instagram but I love the addition, it is such a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a suggestion for another person who doesn't blog but wanted to participate.
DeleteA hobo! Sounds like an interesting character. I wonder what he's doing out in the traffic. Love the description of the semi.
ReplyDeleteSomething like that would grab my attention too! :D Thanks for hosting! Wishing you a lovely weekend <3
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting 56 and Watch the Shadows is a book I haven't heard of before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

I remember that scene! This was such a fun read. The author came up with something so ordinary looking yet so creepy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and have a lovely weekend Freda.
This sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteDescriptive snippet! Caught my attention, too! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds intriguing. I'm not really sure what's going on in either of the excerpts but I want to know more!
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the more interestingly confusing 56s I've read. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds creepy...
ReplyDeleteThe beginning line makes the book sound so funny. I've never heard of it but am now officially intrigued. Thanks for hosting this fun meme!
ReplyDeleteThat 56 really got my attention! Thanks for sharing...and hosting.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty creepy. Enjoy.
ReplyDeletesounds creepy
ReplyDeleteWell, thi may force me to figure out Instagram but my daughter who can explain it to me is gone for the week-end. Maybe next week. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick it really does sound creepy. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I don't "get" Instagram yet - I may need to play about.
ReplyDeleteAs for a "jello wet spot" - ugh - and a nice piece of description :) - Louise
Ooh I want to know why now! Happy weekend. :-)
ReplyDeleteAHHHHH! Instagram! I will definitely have to check in on Instagram from time to time with my 56 posts. That's just such a fun way to share!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this book, but that cover is something else. I'll have to look it up and see if it's something that I want to read.
Thanks for adding me to the linky! :)
