For this year’s A to Z, I will be doing a collection of flash fiction featuring Steven, the MC from Blackbird, from right before he came to Newstead through his first week there.
Y is for Yellow
Sargent
Foltz handed me a yellow uniform.
“What’s
yellow for, sir?” I asked. Everyone I’d seen at Newstead had been in a uniform,
but there wasn’t just one color; there were lots of them. I knew it had to mean
something.
Foltz
was wearing yellow.
“Who
is your father, Raynor?”
I froze.
I thought he was dodging my question; I didn’t realize he was answering me.
“Your
father is Azul,” he continued. “And Azul’s color is yellow.”
“How
the hell do you know that? I don’t
even know who my father is.”
His
eyebrows rose and I looked at his uniform again. “We’re brothers?”
His
silence was answer enough.
Just two more days to sign up for my Rafflecopter:
Brothers?! Now some questions will either be answered or raised.
ReplyDeleteA new twist!
ReplyDeleteThese clues are definitely helping as I read Blackbird!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This gets better and better.
ReplyDelete*Gasp* Brothers?! Oh, that's a great twist! I'm sad that tomorrow is the last day of this challenge because I'm going to miss reading these excerpts. I'm going to have to read Blackbird!
ReplyDeleteThe plot does thicken. Brothers? What surprise is next?
ReplyDeleteWith the pressure of getting my own posts written, I've fallen behind in my reading, but I can tell that I'm going to have to go back and catch up!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
What a way to discover you have a brother!

Intriguing snippets. I'd want to know more about my sibling.
