This short excerpt is taken from my most recent passion project – a novel, titled Rhythm of a Dying Star. It is the “hook” of the story – the opening passage, and is a short piece that I display to showcase my english language prowess and my ability to thoughtfully convey emotion in my writing. This went through many iterations, and is intended to immerse the reader in a poetic opening of an emotionally charged story. It was recieved extremely well, and I heard from many of my peers that it was the strongest of my work thus far – and that they couldn’t wait to read more.
