Here’s another fragment from War’s End, immediately following last week’s. The index, above, has links to all of my Six Sentence Sunday Posts if you want to have a look at what’s already happened.
Audi has just joined the group, and wants to check what is in Ginger’s reader about the planet they are stranded on.
“Let me check what’s there on Rakal,” Audi said, and Ginger handed her the reader. Coralie and Madame Irela moved close beside Audi, anxious to know as much as possible about their plight. Audi checked a number of entries and maps, then sighed and said, “Thought so.”
“Thought what?” Coralie demanded.
“The tropics were never settled–just collecting stations for the botanicals that were Rakal’s main exports. That’s good and bad both.”
Good and bad how?
Six Sentence Sunday is a blog hop in which authors share six sentences of their work – from rough draft to published. There are well over a hundred participants, and you are urged to visit them. And we all like comments. Just click on the logo below.

Well.. there shouldn’t be too many people out there to cause them problems… or help them! Their predicament gets worse and worse.
Did I mention this was a hostile planet politically as well as being a jungle?
OK, so now my mind is busy going over good and bad possibilities! Really enjoying this story, another intriguing six!
They don’t even know all the possibilities yet.
Good in that they won’t face too much in the way of opposition. Bad in that they won’t get any kind of help either. No ways to easily restock or find supplies. And I’m sure there are other surprises in store as well.
Right.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another, lol. Well done!
Glad you like it.
Hmmm… it seems more bad than good to me. I’m curious to see what happens next.
Well, if you’re in enemy territory there are advantages to being in an unoccupied part.
So why didn’t they occupy the tropics? Something really scary there that makes it too difficult to live there? Exciting six.
Too darned hot!
I love how your stories are so rich in possibilities–where they can go. Just what exactly is there?
And that image of the nebulae (?) is great. It reminds me of the tip of a lizard’s tongue.
That’s the Horsehead nebula, in close up (or rather high magnification, courtesy of Hubble.)
Your world building even in just these six sentences is phenomenal! Wow. Very impressed.
Thank you. Rakal is a very warm world.
Good and bad, that sounds interesting, looking forward to reading more!
Next week.
What exactly is the bad part? An interesting six, as always!
Bad? No rescuers.
oh that is bad
This sounds fascinating. Cant wait to read more.
Be quite a while before this is out (if it is.)
Hope they catch a break soon.
Yes–but Coralie may not recognize that it’s a break!
Good and bad– Gotta know what that means. I guess I’ll have to come by next week. lol Great six!
They may be out of the frying pan, but they’re not sure yet they’re not in the fire.
At least they have some data to guide them. Good six, Sue Ann.
And they’ll need it.
Thanks in favor of sharing such a pleasant thinking, article is nice, thats why i have
read it completely
Another great six that leaves me wondering!
Only until tomorrow.
Can’t wait to see more of the good, lol!
I’m afraid even the good is rather mixed.
