Weekend Writing Warriors #11

Welcome to another post for the Weekend Writing Warriors Challenge. The challenge is a blog hop where participants post eight to ten lines from a piece of creative writing they’ve been working on previously. You can find a list of participants on the WeWriWa website each weekend.

This weekend’s snippet contains a piece of my current work in progress, a short story I hope to submit to JordanCon’s anthology of members’ works.

I smiled, “And this gift I give to you, Srina Dragon’s Heart.”
