Teaser Tuesday

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share with us two "teaser" sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
• You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from. That way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
• Please avoid spoilers!

A very depressing and searing thought.

Page 155 - He saw the shapes boring into him but couldn't fend them off. They were there.

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
Page 169 - Because it's beyond him? Because he can't jump in?
