Six Sentence Sunday #1

Ok, so I'm  just starting out with this six sentence Sunday thing. I'm busy meddling with a pretty major writing project, as yet unnamed - and largely unwritten. This is the draft beginning of the prologue for the first book.

The chill set in as we wandered slowly down the hill road overlooking the town. The cloudless sky afforded a pristine view of the visible stars, while the full moon lit up the countryside. No artificial lights were on in the town. And we waited. We had fifteen minutes left.

Fifteen long minutes until they began to turn the universe off.

    A shocking six - leaves you wondering how you can possibly carry on from there with fifteen minutes to the end of everything. :-O

    OH! I missed your last line the first time through. What a dynamite clincher to the scene! So unexpected with the sudden shift of tone and a revelation that makes the reader sit up and say "Wow."

    I'd definitely read more! Well done.
