This is a continuation of last week’s snippet from Rescue Operation.
[Tod] watched as a flyer landed above the road and a couple of men got out and began picking their way down the slope toward the captives.
“Any trouble?” one of the men asked.
“Just sniveling,” the woman answered. “I think they’re all awake, though. Not a bad haul. That one’s a beauty–make a lovely catamite.”
Next week is Christmas day and Six Sentence Sunday is taking a break. I’ll go ahead and post a snippet, but it will be a short excerpt from my published book, Homecoming, about Roi’s first experience of winter solstice holidays.
Don’t forget to visit the other Six Sentence Sunday authors.
Another wonderful snippet. Thank you for all your great work. I hope you have a very merry Christmas! Ax
Thank you very much for prompting me to find the meaning of the word catamite! Tense six, I hope that the captives get rescued. I’m glad that you took part.
I missed the list deadline for this week, but I did get six sentences up! http://kelworthfiles.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/six-sentence-sunday-more-from-children/
Wow, tense six, Sue. I hope they’re rescued soon. 🙂
Suspenseful six. Happy holidays!
Love it. The tension keeps building.
Great tension and I learned a new word…
Great six…and you’re right about the mailing. I have to do that next. Sigh.
Oh, that does sound bad.
