Well here I go. 1st time sharing my writing. Ever, lol Here's my 1st #WIPSnip from "The Wraith Chronicles: Hero's Burden"

Lance is tracking a gang he suspects will lead to the man he's hunting. An amateur detective has entered the fray & gotten in over his head

#Writer #amwriting #WritingPrompts

I really don’t have time for this, Lance thought. His surveillance of this gang was now at risk due to this moron’s presence. The men at the picnic table had obviously been aware of the idiot’s presence, judging by their regular glances in his direction as they played cards. It was only a matter of time before they confronted him.
The problem was, that he needed them blissfully unaware that anyone was on their trail. With that condition compromised, his mission was about to hit a dead end. If they knew someone was watching them, they could hardly be counted on to lead Lance back to his own intended target; their handler.
Ironically, he thought, Mr. Windbreaker here was about to hit a dead end of his own. He watched as the young man now attempted to leave the area by walking directly past the group, making himself an even more convenient target.

Of course, if that happened, the gang members’ suspicion might be quelled. If they knew they were being tracked and then believed they had taken out their tracker, that would leave his operation intact, right?
Goddamnit, he thought, chiding himself for even considering allowing this idiot to become a useful idiot by way of becoming a dead idiot in a ditch. Once more he found himself closing his eyes and inhaling a deep, cleansing breath.
It was the senseless death of someone he loved that had brought him back to so this so called superhero life. No matter how old and bitter he had become, he could not allow his mission to result in another senseless death. Allowing this amateur to get himself killed might further Lance’s agenda, but that was simply an unacceptable outcome.

For my birthday last year my son got me original's of these guys and as many of the cassettes from both sides as he could find and save up for. An 84 Soundwave and an 86 Blaster. Not perfect condition but 2 figures I never had a kid and a fan :)
