A Cast of Stones by Patrick W. Carr
"Smells of earth and dung drifted slowly past the fog in Errol's brain. His skin prickled with cold. Water and ooze soaked his threadbare garments and he shivered."
My Thoughts
I love the imagery in this beginning! It is beautifully crafted and you can almost feel yourself in the same place. And at the same time it also draws you in to wonder how Errol got where he is! Great start!

Sounds like he's in trouble!
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
The opener really grabbed me. I want to know why he's soaked in water and "ooze" (GREAT word!) and why his brain is fogged. Sounds like a good book.
My Friday 56 / Beginnings post features DAKOTA BLUES.
I LOVED "A Cast of Stones"!! Can't wait for book #2!
