My Lucky Seven - Carrying on the tradition

Thanks to the fabulous Efthalia Pegios, I have been invited to participate in the Lucky Seven... So here goes...


The challenge. Post seven lines from an unpublished work of fiction. My current work in progress (WIP) is Starburst.  This is the final novel in the Warriors of the Elector Trilogy (but not the last story...)  It feels like it has taken forever, but I am finally past the halfway mark.

Anyway, it is the climax of the tale of my universe, several centuries into the future.  Jemma, Mellissa, Duvall, Grayson, Elara and Raven all turn up but the story is essentially about Meredith and Chowd.  Oh and we get to meet a couple of interesting characters as well.  New ones that you won't know anything about.

But anyway, onto the rules for the Lucky Seven...

•  Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript (fiction or non-fiction)
•  Go to line 7
• Post on your blog the next 7 lines, or sentences, as they are – no cheating
•  Tag 7 other authors to do the same

So without any further ado...here is my excerpt...  7 sentences from page 77

    Feeling pleased that two of his friends had found a profound love.  One he would probably never experience, and a section of his chest ached at the realisation. 

    Afterwards, the Senior Crew retired to the Duvall's office, the Ambassador having cried off, citing his distress still at the death of his assistant, Portia. Chowd had found the woman cloying but he understood the feeling of loss and he empathised with the Ambassador. 

    But today was a joyous occasion and no-one could find anything in his absence to concern them.
