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.
[Tod] thought she had the better chance of getting away, and the last thing he wanted was for her to give up any chance she had by trying to rescue him.
She hesitated, studying her bonds, and then nodded slightly, reluctantly.
Their captors were talking now, discussing the weakened dam and how they’d reinforced it. Something about being careful not to damage the infrastructure. Worried about the dam, but not about the people? That didn’t make sense to Tod.

Isn’t that too true…worried about everything but the people? Great six, and I love the working title.
Because Tod’s right. Nice six!
Tod’s smart to listen and hopefully learn their weak points to use against them.
Oh, I do hope they get free. Or, rescued. 🙂
Great six, and very thought provoking, worried about the dam and not the people, a snap shot of the world today. Thank you.
I’m with Karysa. I hope they find a way to get away. Intriguing six. 🙂
Very interesting six! Nice blend of tension and info
Thanks to all for your comments — I’m rooting for Tod, too, but two more snippets and I’m finished with this chapter (the seconds of the first book of the trilogy.) I have some heavy revision on the first chapter, but once that’s done I will be looking for beta readers. I think for the last three weeks of February I’ll pull bits from my published work; then I may go back to another part of the trilogy.
