Here are my 100 words from
Wither by Lauren DeStefano p14:
"'This is in the orange grove. My father owned acres of them. Here in Florida."'Florida. My heart sinks. I'm in Florida, on the bottom of the East Coast, more miles from home than I can count. I miss my ivy-silhouetted house. I miss the distant commuter trains. How will I ever find my way back to them? 'They're lovely,' I say of the oranges. Because it's true, they are lovely. Things seem to thrive in this place. I would never have suspected that the vibrant girl standing beside her horse in the grove could be dying now. 'Aren't they?'"
