I’m still giving bits of a scene well into the WIP (third volume of a trilogy) with working title War’s End. We’re still with Coralie, who’s unexpectedly found herself on a strange planet with her month-old baby. She’s just seen her dog circle and lift her nose in response to the order to find the others she can hear.
Air scenting, Coralie thought. Which way was the wind blowing? The air was hot, sticky and apparently motionless where she stood, but by looking up, she could see an occasional leaf flutter. “Go,” she told the dog, swinging her arm downwind.
Roi hadn’t been able to teach Coralie much, crippled as he’d been by the hiControl. But he had taught her the light trance that let her share Bounce’s senses to some extent, and in the brief time they’d had together since his talents had returned, he’d helped her strengthen that bond.
So can Bounce find the others?
I’m far from the only one posting six sentences from my work today! Click on the logo below for a list of the other fine authors participating in Six Sentence Sunday. I ‘ll probably be a little late in getting around myself, as I want to get to the Fair early for some photographs of horse colors.

Go, Bounce, go! Of course she’ll find the others! She has to!
Yes, this is a case where nose is better than eyes.
Hey! I want some of this light trance capability.
It’s the breed of dogs that has the capability. Most people can’t get it because they’re sure it can’t happen.
I love stories where dogs are involved and heroic. The trance to share senses is intriguing. 🙂
Pocket herders are an invented breed, but based on the working ancestral Shetland Sheepdog.
Sounds like an interesting place 🙂
Interesting as in “may you live in interesting times.”
of course Bounce will find the others!! Love the atmosphere you are building.
I had fun with the pocket herders.
Oh, this is cool! I love that she can link with the dog. And that’s supposed to be a light skill? Very neat. Great six.
Main ingredient for the link is the dog. This breed has been selected for telepathic ability, and Coralie as a latent telepath is able to use that link with training.
Fingers crossed! (Running behind on my SSS visits has its advantages – I won’t have to wait for the next one, lol.)
