Here's my teaser:

Claire heard someone yell outside the room, and Amelie whipped around so quickly that she was a blur, then moved...and something hit the marble pillar next to where she'd been and exploded with a sharp popping sound.

A bottle. Claire smelt gas, and then heard a thick, whooshing sound.

Here's my teaser:

The stench of the prison rose up. I think this smell is not only filth - blood and excrement and decay - but is the smell of fear, of generations of people abandoned without hope of release. It never fails to terrify me.

Beautiful white light surrounded me and I didn't hurt anymore, and I knew it was the end of days when our stories - Lorraine and mine and the kids - had happy endings. Or was it only the beginning?

The machine crashed into the net, which wrapped around it, spilling fabricated spider acid from its strands.  The acid burned through wings and struts and flesh in seconds.  Pieces spun off wildly, the plane's wings folding like scissors in the air.

Here's my teaser. WARNING my teaser might seem a little gruesome.

She has devoured his throat and chest, and even some of his stomach. His open flesh gleams near-black, although there are varying degrees of the darkness indicating different organs. His lower intestines spill out of him, like escaping eels.
