As I’ve posted before, I used to participate in a Web round called Six Sentence Sunday. Each week, we participants would post six consecutive sentences from a writing project on our blogs. We’d include a link to the Six Sentence Sunday page and then post the link to our post on the central Six Sentence Sunday page. Every Sunday, we’d read the other participants’ samples, and comment on them.

Six Sentence Sunday has since closed down, but I’m replaying them here for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think in the Comments.

His vision swam, and he felt as if he were rocking back and forth on his feet, no matter how hard he tried to stand still. He couldn’t speak.
