This week’s Six Sentence Sunday offering:
6 sentences from WIP, A Fierce Reaping, set in Scotland and Northumbria in the late 7th century AD. Cynfal has joined a warband and is being given the induction course by an old friend.
Aeddan gave him a rough one armed hug and flicked his bowl so the mead spilled down his shirt. “We’ll have to cheer you up, then. Find you a girl so you don’t forget what it’s for, as long as you’re not too fussy, or a lad unless you’ve gone all Christian on us.”
“What do you mean?” Cynfal asked.
“We’ve got monks,” Aeddan growled. “They say we mustn’t curse, gamble or whore and we certainly mustn’t ‘make do’” he held his hands at hip level and pumped them, “with each other – on pain of ever lasting purgatory.”

Lol! I love the way he explains it.
Thank you. 🙂 I’ve been enjoying writing Aeddan’s story arc as well as the MCs
Wow, he really tells it like it is! Wonderful atmosphere.
Thanks 🙂
HA!! Love it.
Thank you. 🙂
Freakin’ monks. 😉 I already like Aeddan!
🙂 Thanks
Aeddan is quite the guy – he doesn’t seem very likable! I wonder what Cynfal thinks of him. Nice dialogue!
Thanks 🙂
Aeddan is a secondary character but makes plot so I like him quite a lot.
Love the rude hand gesture! I wrote one of those today myself. 🙂
LOL, cool. I’ll look you up.
Very blunt! Exactly what I would expect from these men. Nicely done!
No manners at all, 🙂 Thanks babes
Ha, absolutely fantastic dialogue. Great six!
Lol – love Aeddan’s character already! Great job 🙂
*g* To be fair, the monks probably wouldn’t be too happy with the idea of them fornicating with girls either. Were they particularly anti-gay in that age? I don’t know enough about Celtic Christianity to tell.
