Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Once again I am presenting a snippet from the last volume of my trilogy, working title War’s End. Coralie has suddenly found herself and her baby in a place completely strange to her, and has been trying to make sense of the sounds she hears. This follows on directly from last week’s snippet.
There! That was a dog barking! “Bounce, come,” she cried out.
There was a series of rustles and squelches from her left, and she managed to sit up and look in that direction. The ground beneath her, she now saw, was not so much ground as waterlogged and rotting vegetation, and when Bounce finally stuck her head through the leaves she was mired to the belly with greenish mud. “Bounce,” Coralie gasped in relief.

Ewww, poor Coralie. Imagine sitting in that muck 😀
Great description!
At least it’s solid enough to hold her up.
Loved the description… Not sure I’d want to be stuck in that….
At the moment, she’s just trying to figure out where she is, and relieved Bounce is with her.
Beautiful writing, masterful description.
Thank you. (blush)
Eww messy. But I’m glad she has her dog back. 🙂
The situation’s even messier.
WHEW! So glad she found the dog–or the dog found her–but…swamp? Ewwww! 😉
A little of both.
SIlver James beat me to my comment! ugh. I was getting ready to say, or ask, is she’s in a swamp? Rotten vegetation made me cringe!!
More to come.
Things are looking up, glad she has her dog with her. It really seems to be an awful situation she’s arrived in the midst of – terrific snippet!!!
Bounce is a pretty special dog, too.
Great description – and at least her dog’s with her in these odd surroundings.
Anything’s odd when it’s a brand new experience.
Oh yuck. I’d be freaking out sitting in that. Yay about the dog!
She has other things to worry about.
Excellent description of the ground, or lack thereof. I’m glad Bounce is ok.
Thanks. She’s going to need Bounce!
Yay! The dog has survived too! But… eww… your description is making my skin crawl again. LOL. 😉
Nobody seems to like the swamp.
Scary situation, and beautifully described. I felt like I watched rather than read it.
