We only have about a month of Six Sentence Sunday left. If I can find another Sunday sharing group, I may join, but for right now I’m planning to continue posting bits of my fiction on Sundays, though it may be a little more than six sentences. I’ll follow some of my favorite Sixers, and I hope some of those who like what I’ve posted will follow my blog.
For today’s six, Audi has just said that being in the unsettled tropics of Rakal is good and bad both. She is still speaking.
“Good in that we shouldn’t run into any Maung-possessed. Bad in that we’re totally on our own. Kelty, did you get out any call for help at all? Enough that word would get to Roi that there’s a ship in distress in the Rakal system? He could find us if he’s in the system.”
Kelty, now dressed, shrugged.
That’s it for today. This is far from the only writing sample available today. Check out the Six Sentence Sunday website for other authors who are sharing a bit of their work today—and we all love comments.

Sometimes 6 ins’t enough!!
Great six though. xx
Sometimes? Usually!
Okay, now I want to know what a Maung-possessed is possessed with—you sure know how to hook a reader, Sue Ann!
A human taken over by what should be a Maung nervous system. Audi’s going to explain to Coralie, but I don’t think I’ll get that far before SSS is over. The reader would know–sort of.
Sounds like there’s a glimmer of hope for them after all! What is a Maung-possessed?
I’m also planning on continuing to post short snippets on a Sunday. I’ve got into the habit 😉
I just subscribed to your blog.
It’s sounding bleak and getting bleaker by the minute. Nice six.
They’re a tough group. Even the diplomat.
I think they’re on their own, good thing that between the members of the group and the dog, they’re pretty darn self sufficient! another great excerpt!
Thanks. Hope I can figure out how to get it published.
Sounds like they’re on their own. Though I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. LOL I figure just when they think they’re alone, something/someone will pop up on the radar. 😉
Several others. I think the first is before SSS ends.
So now they’re on their own, I hope someone comes out of nowhere to challenge them. Great six, and glad you’ll be posting sixes after SSS. I plan to do the same, but will likely post on Saturdays instead. I’ll be sure to follow you.
Some one or something. Or both.
that would be nice, too!
I think you have a tough group here and they will survive, but it’s intriguing to read along and find out how. Great six. I’ll be sad when SSS comes to an end. I look forward the Sunday Sixers.
Tough mentally. Physically? Coralie’s just had a baby, Ginger’s in shape but focused on the baby, Audi’s very much a city girl, Kelty’s middle-aged and not in the greatest shape, and Madame Irela has school-age grandchildren.
Maung-possessed sounds Borg-like…shudder.
More to come but it’s at the very end of SSS or maybe a week or two after.
Hope help comes for them soon.
Not too soon, or I wouldn’t have a story!
Shrugged? Come on Kelty get a grip! I do enjoy your posts.
Give him time! Like next week.
Sounds pretty bleak. Great six!
I don’t think despair has even occurred to them–yet.
Sounds like there is more bad news to come, but love their controlled response to the situation.
Glad you like it.
Totally wondering what a Maung-possessed is…but I’m sure your story will explain it. Check out http://www.skyewarren.com/six/ . She is going to try to continue SSS. However, I did start following your blog, too. Happy Holidays!
Thanks — I signed up. The Maungs (if I get to them) will probably be in January.
Cool 🙂 Well, I’m following your blog, so if you post it after SSS ends, I’ll still see it.
Oh! That doesn’t sound promising!
Oh, I have quite a lot of torturing them yet.
This doesn’t sound promising, but therein lies the fun. :c)
If I ever get the book out, it’s from both sides–Coralie’s group and Roi’s efforts to find them.
