So there's a couple of memes that I decided to edit into this: I'm going to post the first lines of all my WIP that have a complete draft but not a revision I like yet. Now to just get some edited!

"You have seven days. Live them."

Breath. Artisan's Breath
Alya carefully creased speckless cream linen over the perfect white parchment of her letter—the way her mother taught her.

Word came at dawn of the newly outfitted military station in Westerfields, that vast uninhabited territory between Glaston and Edyll, both kingdoms cities.
Faeology. Edge of Salvation, Edge of Fear (expanded)
