Six Sentence Sunday 001.

From No Quarter.

Gabriel looked around, taking in the shape of the land, the glint of sunlight on water on the river in the distance. It was quiet, save for the sounds of birds and small animals who made their home here in the greenery of the hills near Xi'an and he felt instantly more relaxed and at peace.

"Beautiful spot," Gabriel sat down on the grass, lying back and leaning on his elbows. "Should take you to Mt Aspiring in New Zealand one of these days. That's my favourite place to relax and commune with nature. It's... beautiful, although beautiful isn't a strong enough word for how lovely it is."

This six gave me a very serene vibe, with a hint of anticipation, the calm before the storm.

Thank you! That's exactly what it is, I'm so pleased it came across that way. :)

I really like the picture your painting, and I'm not a punctuation guru, but I re read it several times and I think a few commas, especially in the second sentence would make it sing when you read it. Great snippet. Thank you.

LOL, punctuation isn't my friend, either. Thankfully, I have wonderful editors who help me no end. But thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it and I'll definitely work on the punctuation.
