Beryl sensed danger when a sharp pain ran through her chest.

The project for the day is to write from two different points of view around the same character; it's a chronological shift rather than a full perspective shift. This is for the fiction workshop. We've each been given our own assignment it seems, and mine involves finding out what exactly a thirteen-year-old boy in London, England would have been listening to. And, you know, looking up British slang and using it without making the thing sound like a bad Coronation Street redux.

Depending on the timeframes, I bet that the inclination to use the Beatles is strong.

For some reason, I think the Beatles would make mroe sense with a female character. But, no, I went with Oasis. Actually, the male character might end up female, based on comments in class.
