Dramatic Action Quotes

“I stop in my tracks, turning to face Girl. She is limping across the grass.

I can do this!

Reaching out, I lift her in both my arms. She straddles her legs around my waist and leans her head against my left shoulder.

Girl is heavy but I seem to manage. Finding my inner strength, I support her weight in my arms. My feet continue to pelt across the grass and onto the cement
of the car park.”
― Susan L. Marshall, Adira and the Dark Horse

“I land on hard wood planks, bouncing onto my bottom and thighs.
I am sprawled on my back,
staring up at the golden flowered handrail
of the footbridge ...

You are leaning on the handrail with one arm,
pulling fiercely at your hair.
A striking, handsome subject,
against a backdrop of the pink and purple hues of sunset.”
― Susan L. Marshall
