Prompts are taken from Twitter’s list for #wipwordsearch @thewriteprompt.
Shadows of Colesbrooke by Brandy I. Timmons: June WIPWordSearch Excerpts 2024
June 1, 2024 – Want
Gary had lived in both the emergency room and operating room blood and gore for thirty years—Thomas trusted his instincts implicitly. If Gary was worried, Thomas didn’t #want to know why.
June 2, 2024 – Wild
As soon as he sat down, the #wild energy he’d felt earlier vanished and a wave of fatigue unlike any other settled throughout his body. He leaned heavily on the bar, repulsed with himself.
June 3, 2024 – Weak/Week
“So I really did drink human blood?” Thomas breathed, doing his best to keep calm, another wave of panic and disgust making him feel #weak-kneed.
June 4, 2024 – Warm
He could still smell her despite the coffee’s #warm aroma. That was the worst.
June 5, 2024 – Weight/Wait
He tried to move, but his body remained limp and heavy as if he was already dead. A heavy #weight pressed into his chest, and he could feel the man’s hot breath against his skin.
June 6, 2024 – Water
He chugged the #water. It was ice as it rolled down his throat, the condensation from the store’s coolers making the bottle slippery. Each swallow left his mouth drier, so he kept drinking until he’d drained the bottle.
June 7, 2024 – Wander/Wonder
But can you blame me for havin’ a laugh? I tell this kid to go clean up nice for his first day behind the counter and what does he go and do? #Wanders right into real monster territory
June 8, 2024 – Wide
A hand gripped his shoulder. It snapped him out of his trance, but the hunger still squirmed within.
Sean’s eyes were #wide as Thomas pulled away. He looked scared.
Moonlit Woods by Brandy I. Timmons: June WIPWordSearch Excerpts 2024
June 1, 2024 – Want
Somehow she’d try to have fun, too. She didn’t really #want the pack asking questions.
June 2, 2024 – Wild
Clara raced to catch up with the wolves, power and speed rushing through her with a #wild exhilaration.
June 3, 2024 – Weak/Week
She needed to tell him, to explain. She needed to do it #weeks ago, but she hadn’t known he was going to tangle with the bloodsuckers.
June 4, 2024 – Warm
“No offense, Art,” said Sean, taking advantage of the silence and grabbing a #warm cookie, “But these are definitely not your best.”
June 5, 2024 – Weight/Wait
Clara knew she couldn’t stride into a vampire pub during a vampire war. That could just create more tension and bloodshed.
She would have to #wait for the perfect moment.
June 6, 2024 – Water
A small glass vial reeking of holy #water, hawthorn seeds, and garlic oil fell from Artemis’s numbed fingers and shattered against the ground at her feet.
June 7, 2024 – Wander/Wonder
There was not a hint of sympathy in her voice. Her callous attitude made Clara #wonder if the hag had ever had anyone she could say she loved.
June 8, 2024 – Wide
Even in the gloom, the Crone’s crooked yellow teeth gleamed wetly as her wrinkled face stretched out #wide.
