For today's Six Sentence Sunday, I'm remaining with my YA urban fantasy WIP, Osland. Here, the protagonist runs into a rather odd new restriction at her new school:
After we passed a few fountains, I said, “This school is f. . .this school is f. . .this school is messed up.” The f-bomb wouldn’t come out—more than a little weird. While I’d like to think I wasn’t super-foul-mouthed, on occasion, I did let a few colorful words slip out. Sure, I’ll admit after Mom and Dad died, the f-bombs started dropping a bit more often, but I never had trouble pushing the words out. Now I could barely even think of them. Did the teachers drug the water or something?

Ha, I bet there are a lot of schools that wish they could do just that! But it's kind of creepy if something is suppressing her normal behaviour.
did they? drug the water? and good character - already see part of his background
Heh, how intriguing! How's that for regulating student behavior? :D So glad my school had no magic wards! Great six.
The school definitely has done 'something', but they haven't drugged the water. ;)
Interesting premise. I have a species that can't swear verbally--expletives express emotion, and that is transmitted by mind-touch.
Haha! Love the unwanted "self-censorship"! :-)

Intriguing :-)
Oh, what is going to happen? Very intriguing. Nice.
I can't wait to see what the school has done to them. Some form of mind control, maybe
The school can't be all bad. LOL. Intriguing six. Enjoyed it.
How odd. I'm intrigued and can't wait to learn how the school pulled it off.
I really want to know what's keeping her from dropping bombs. Is it the school or something else?
Ha, I love it. "Did they drug the water or something?" She's certainly tongue-tied :)
Love the voice and the six! You have me very intrigued.
Intriguing. The school possibly drugging the water.
Nothing wrong with an occasional F-bomb! Can't wait to see what happens at this school!
Yes, they probably DID drug the water. :)
Oh, I like this a lot. Enough detail to keep me interested without answering all the questions. Thanks for sharing!
I'm echoing Pippa, very creepy to think they could put something in the water. Superb six.
Thanks all for stopping by.
Very intriguing! ...can't wait to see what else awaits her ;)
