Christine at The Writer's Hole is asking nano-ers and non-nano-ers to share the last thing they wrote.

here's mine, but if i share too much, it could give the story away. i'll give you just a little. this is from just a few minutes ago, writing with my son on Black Heart.

Just before Dar'vosh released, Kieran found the strength to ram his shoulder into Dar'vosh’s legs. Dar'vosh threw the knife but it missed Lydia by a few feet. Dar'vosh spun around and clawed at Kieran, knocking him to the ground again.

The bridge started to shake. Dar'vosh drew back his arm again, this time holding the dagger that he’d just extracted. Before he could launch the weapon, an ear-splitting crack made Kieran grit his teeth.
