....or not. Well. Instead of working on something to put up on my blog, I spent the last two days taking tests, buying books and devouring "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara (which, by the way, is the inspiration for one of my favorite films on the Civil War). So tonight you get the first chapter of my NaNo 2010 unedited and unfinished novel, Reapers. Oh, joy. This isn't the absolute beginning of the book--there's a prologue, too, but it's slightly new and I was hesitant about posting it. I pretty much loathe this first chapter, but I love Reapers' characters, and hopefully you will, too =)

Reapers: Chapter One
The water buckets were not heavy, but Twink crept along the empty dirt road as if he was walking on graves. He glanced constantly over his shoulder at the well, licking his lips in anticipation. I’ll bet my entire beetle collection that Bross and his thugs are hiding in those bushes. Well, let ‘em come; I’m ready!
