Today I’m posting another six from War’s End, continuing Coralie’s efforts to use her dog Bounce to find the rest of the group that was on the ship before she suddenly found herself, her baby and her dog in a strange, swampy jungle. At the beginning of this snippet, she’s seeing through her dog’s eyes, and Kelty has just waved his arms at her request.
There! Bounce still had trouble seeing the man, but she did catch motion. Coralie squinted her own eyes, which of course did no good at all, and tried to see what was holding Kelty. Some kind of vines, she thought, vines which were wrapped closely around a huge fallen tree. She suspected Kelty would need the help of all of them to get free.
Michelle burped, yawned, and dropped off to sleep.
This is from the third volume of a trilogy I’m polishing, set a couple of hundred years after the close of Tourist Trap.

Hope she’s got a knife handy 🙂
She hasn’t even gotten to him physically yet.
I think it’s very interesting that she has the limitations of the dog as well when linked. Very neat!
Well, seeing through Bounce’s eyes, of course she can’t see what Bounce can’t. And she can’t access words Bounce doesn’t know, either.
I like how she can see through her dogs eyes– interesting. So how is she going to rescue Kelty?
Have patience!
What a great obstacle for Bounce!
Bounce isn’t a very big dog.
Great six! Sounds like a tricky situation.
Oh, they don’t know their problems yet.
So if it’s going to take all of them, is that all of the ones she knows are there, or everyone who was present before they crashed?
They didn’t crash; they’re just there. And you’d better hope all of those on the ship are not there.
Love how you worked this out..love that she sees through Bounce’s eyes and I’m so interested to see what happens next.
Well, they have to figure out quite a lot.
That’s the breed of dog. Most people can’t receive them, though.
Hmm, sure hopes she can get free. Nice six!
Coralie’s still thinking of Kelty, the man who piloted their ship, as the leader.
Really interesting six–I like that she can see through Bounce’s eyes. And that she squinted her own in spite of it being ineffective! Your six was intriguing, Sue, but wow–after reading your replies to the other comments, the story sounds really good! Reeled me right in.
Now if I can just convince a publisher of that…
Wonderful Six, Sue Ann! Great job of showing the connection between human and dog.

Thanks, and thank you for the lovely blog award. I have a “Meet and Greet” post coming up for GUTGAA that I will combine with the questionnaire. I’ve quit passing these things on, for reasons I’ll explain in a linked post about how exponentials work and how few iterations it would take to involve the whole population of the Earth. I’ll have to skip the movie stars and just give descriptions, though. I don’t know who the modern stars are!
Well written POV, and I love the input of the baby at the end. ;c)
I just hope I can get it published.
