a novel written during NaNoWriMo (snippet 2)
Minnie
jumped up. Yes, jumped. Then she knew she was in heaven. She hadn’t jumped like
that since she was a kid. And, come to think of it, not even then.
She had been the
best rope-jumper on the playground back in Holland. But, now her legs were
phenomenal. She looked at them. Yes, these were her legs, although younger, stronger, and less hairy than she remembered them. These were beautiful legs.
She couldn’t
wait to show John. He would be tickled. He might even tickle her. Maybe she
should just show him one at a time. Two would be too much.
What
was she thinking? If she was in heaven, John wouldn’t be here. He would be back
at home wondering why it took so long for her to drive back from Nan ’s house in the country.
She stopped looking at her
amazing legs and began walking on them. They moved so smoothly. Wow, she was
gliding. Breathing in a big breath of coffee, lily of the valley and freshly
laundered clothes, she set off across the bouncy green grass of heaven. She
hadn’t felt this carefree ever.
