It’s Sunday again, and I’m still posting consecutive bits from the second chapter of Rescue Operation (working title.) Tod’s the youngest of a group of teenaged “freedom fighters” who’ve been captured by slavers. To look at previous snippets, click “Six sentence Sunday” under the “Writing” tab.
At least not for him.
The twins had learned long since to split up when their father was after them, and to communicate their intentions to each other without words. With luck, they could confuse their father to the point that they both got away, and at the worst, he had only one of them to abuse. Tod didn’t think either of them had much of a chance, but he caught Tammy’s eye and gave the signal to split up.
She shook her head slightly.
He repeated the signal, more emphatic this time.

Run run run!! I will look after them. You have me on the edge of my seat. Fantastic six!
Always a joy to read your six! Nice! Thanks for sharing!
I like the description of twin-communication. Good six, Sue Ann. 🙂
Great scene– even though I wasn’t a twin, my brother and I can communicate non verbally too. I remember it pissing some people off one time when we played two-on-two basketball and communicated this way.
Yikes, suspenseful, and filled me with dread for them. Love that the twins have a secret sign language.
I really want these two to be okay! Run Tammy! Don’t be stubborn! Great six.
Nice! I have a feeling that skill will come in handy down the line 🙂
Why did she nod no? Great six! The background of the twins is a nice layered touch to the story.
Interesting, always enjoy stories about twins and the unusual bond they share. Excellent excerpt!
Oh, dear, she’s not going to play? could get nasty if he still goes for it alone.
I like the way they read each other.
I like the sibling connection. But then, I would.
