Teaser Tuesday #9

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should by Reading. My teaser is from the mystery/thriller, crime fiction The Last 10 Seconds by Simon Kernick, and fantasy What Ho, Automaton!" by Chris Dolley

"That's the hardest thing to accept, the fact that my life is finally coming to an end, and I wonder briefly in these last few seconds, as the pain and the shock squeeze at my insides, whether there's anyone left to mourn my passing.Whether I'll even be remembered in ten years' time."

~ p.12, "The Last 10 Seconds" by Simon Kernick

"Luckily I heard the footsteps before the door opened and was able to rush to a hiding place behind a small screen by the window. The door opened."

~ p.13, "What Ho, Automaton!" by Chris Dolley
