It Be Another Day of Yay or Nay

I didn't receive any subs for critique. What? Are you scared? Can't take it? Worried that someone might tear your precious words piece by piece, phrase by phrase, noun from verb?

Yeah. Me too.

Here's another one:

His face changed from slack interest to wide-eyed panic as a varmint reacts to the shadow of an overhead hawk.

*sigh* Beat it now. Mutilate. Stomp it. Grind it into the dirt. Killkillkillkill...

And tomorrow, if I don't receive any submissions, you get to see my book cover reveal. 

Bwhahahahahaha

Yay or Nay – Scenes that Anchor

Today we are beginning a new feature at UnicornBell called Yay or Nay. Submit short phrases or sentences for quick responses in the affirmative or negative.

* * * * 

Anchoring the reader to the scene involves taste, smell, sight, and sound. It is vital to the bonding process, pulling the reader into your world. Your audience does the rest with their imagination. 

Here is my example:

The acrid smell of warm mead hovered over the festivities like a fog. The odor of the horse dung was a sad counterpoint.

Rules: Comment below, Yay or Nay. Add your short phrase and I’ll post it for review.
