Michael Abayomi: Hookers & Hangers: Part II

Today is the second part of the Hookers & Hangers blogfest, hosted by the writers over at Falling for Fiction. On Monday, participants posted first sentences from the chapters of their books and WIPs i.e. hookers. Today, we are to post last sentences, or hangers.

Like I earlier feared, today's exercise proved more difficult because most of my last sentences require some context to carry any kind of meaning. That said, these are a few from the first book of my epic fantasy series, Guardians & The Lost Paradise, a project that is a mere 3 days away from being crowdfunded:

In fact, the only sound he could still hear was that of his beating heart; and it was slowly fading away.

And with that all three unicorns kicked off the ledge, leaving the waterfall behind as they glided towards the forest.

And together, the two brothers disappeared into the ghostly-white mist.

Clarissa put an arm around Danny's shoulders. "Well, I guess there is a first time for everything."

Thanks to everyone that dropped a comment on Monday. And to the new followers too. I'll try my best to pay you back in kind the moment things become less hectic.

Thanks, Kyra. It is worth noting that these particular unicorns have wings. You know, just in case you were wondering how they managed to "glide" and all. :)

Thanks, Alex. It comes from the prologue to the first book in the series and it is one of my personal favorites. Again, some context is needed to understand why.

Really? Wow. Thanks. Well, there's a two-chapter excerpt currently being hosted here, and you can basically pre-order the entire series from here.

Thanks. Funny enough, most of these (and the books) were written late at night. One scene in particular kept me up till about 3 o'clock in the morning. :D

Quite true. I enjoy reading books where each sentence, paragraph or chapter flows into the next, almost seamlessly, making you want to continue reading without pause.

Yes, I do. But I tend to get borderline sadistic sometimes. Like you said though, the fun comes from watching these situations play out and helping our MCs overcome hardship. Thanks. :)
