For today's Six Sentence Sunday, I'm flipping back to my YA urban fantasy WIP, Osland. Here, we see the oft-confused Lydia Wray offer her rather fanciful theory to the main character, Gail, on why cell phones don't work on their Seattle boarding school campus:
“But there’s a rumor that a hundred years ago some Indians killed these striking union guys, so now the union guys are ghosts and haunt the school blocking cell phones.” Lydia blinked. “Not Indians. I mean not like Leandra. I mean Native Americans.”
How do you even respond to something like that?

With a blank stare, would be my guess, lol.
Thanks for sharing!
The next sentence actually is "I stared at her, my mouth open."
You don't respond to that. You just look dumbfounded. ;)
There's really nothing you can say to that. LOL :)
...I'd call that a 'tall-tale'... blank stare is right :)
Some people will believe anything, lol. Fun six.
Very nice. Good buildup in this scene.
