Coralie was on a spaceship with her baby, but she suddenly finds herself in dense jungle on the surface of a strange planet. She has just heard the pilot’s voice and answered, and his reply is “Are you all right?” This is from the third volume of a trilogy I’m working on, with a working title of “War’s End.” The war may be over, but the complications aren’t!
“Yes. Are the others?”
“I am,” came Audi’s voice, “though I seem to have dropped the diapers. Where are you? I can’t tell what direction your voice is coming from.”
“Neither can I.”
That last voice is Ginger’s, by the way. She hasn’t been in the bits I’m posting from this book, yet, but she was on the ship. Think I should try to publish this?

I like having Ginger in there too, despite not knowing her yet. The more people who survived, the better the chances they all have.
One question. If she doesn’t know where they are, how can she indicate where she is in relation to them? Or will the dog come into play and bring them together?
You’re jumping ahead.
Sorry. I do that sometimes.
I love the ‘i dropped the diapers’ bit. so prosaic when in such an extreme situation.
May be prosaic, but pretty important when you have a month-old baby.
I admired the attention to detail with the dropped diapers! Excellent excerpt!
You have to pay attention to detail when you’re marooned on an unfamiliar planet.
The I dropped the diapers line adds a nice touch of humor to the otherwise tense and nerve racking situation. Lines like that give the reader a nice break. Great six.
The diapers aren’t entirely humor, though I did hope they would lighten things up a bit.
It’s good that she knows there are a few others besides her who survived. Good six, Sue Ann.
I think it’ll be a few weeks before everyone is rounded up–including a real surprise.
