Welcome to another snippet from War’s End. Coralie has just realized she has no more milk for Michelle, who’s been nursing almost continuously. Kelty and Ginger seem to have figured it out, and Ginger is speaking first.
“Coralie, it’s not you, and I have some milk substitute in my kit. Remember what happened the last thing on the ship? Just before we wound up here?”
“That man — he grabbed Michelle from me. She was afraid of him, and — but he was moving away from me! And Michelle was back in my arms! I thought — but he can’t have given her back to me.” Her eyes widened as she remembered the conversation with Elyra.
The conversation was before they were even on the ship, but you’ll have to wait until next week to find out what Elyra said.

I’ve been really curious about the moments before they ‘arrived’. Can’t wait for next week, Sue Ann!
Blame the 8 sentence limit!
Looking forward to finding out! Curiouser and curiouser!
🙂
Wow, another twist! Can’t wait to learn what actually happened…great snippet as always.
Well, the reader of the book (if I ever get it out) would know what Elyra said. Of course if any one would like to beta read the whole trilogy…
Huh? Did somebody pull a switch?
Let’s just say the baby inherited some unusual abilities from her father.
I’m excited about learning more about how they came to be in their present situation. Also, I love the artwork.
Artwork? That’s a Hubble photo. Jupiter’s new red spot, I think.
Very interesting! Can’t wait to find out what happened before…
Reader of the book might catch the reference.
I can’t wait for next week.
Glad it’s keeping you turning pages.
Intriguing! Can’t wait to see what characteristics the baby got from her father.
Her father’s the Roi of my three published books.
What a great, complex story.
A little too complex, maybe–this is a side plot.
Mystery and intrigue. Wow! Good eight.
Science fiction, but people.
Well this is very mysterious indeed…spit it out Ginger!
Not too much more of this bit left.
The plot thickens week by week! Really looking forward to the next instalment.
I think next week gives some answers.
Wow, Sue Ann, I’m totally intrigued. Are there some hallucinations going here? Good excerpt! 🙂
Come back next week.
The plot thickens. Can’t wait for more. 🙂
‘Fraid you’ll have to wait. But next week’s snippet is already scheduled.
I’m so curious, I really want to know how they arrived in this situation.
Almost the entire chapter has been blogged, now. Find it in the index.
Ooo, cliffhanger!! Tease! 😛 Great 8!
My method of “picking” 8 sometimes ends on a cliffhanger.
Great teaser! I’ll definitely be back to find out more. 🙂
Glad you’re caught in the story.
Great eight! I ahve been MIA for a bit, but I am still just as curious to see what happens next.
Next week’s already scheduled.
Wait! Is this a changeling story? Did the man do a baby swap?
Check next Sunday.
Wow, so many questions. What really happened the day that they’re talking about? What did Elyra say? And what does that have to do with Coralie seeming to dry up? And what do the other two know?
Come back next week.
Like Sarah, I’d like to know about the before-crash time. I’m excited to see more.
