The Friday 56: "Is this a bloody handprint I see before me?"

The Friday 56 is hosted by Storytime with Tonya and Friends

RULES

  1. Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  2. Turn to page 56.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like).
  5. Post a link with your post to Storytime (and here on Bryan’s Book Blog, I’d like to know what book you’ve got at hand).
The nearest book to me today is Stephen King’s Under the Dome which has been waiting for me to finish grading papers and finish reading Gerald’s Game and so as I turn to page 56, today I’m going to be cheating a little because the fifth sentence is not as chilling as is the first sentence on page 56:

“Then he saw his younger son approaching the place where Barbie’s bloody handprint appeared to be drying on nothing more than sunny air” (56).

I am also trying to finish up some loose ends before diving into Under the Dome. I have not been this excited for a book in a quite a while and want to devote my full attention!! Have fun reading!
