It’s Sunday, the day reserved for sharing another six sentences with the world. Ryan is edging closing to cryo-chamber 207 and the all important Doctor Evans. He’s been through a lot already but it seems that the universe isn’t done throwing roadblocks in his way.
These six sentences pick up immediately following last week’s six, so if you want to catch up or need a recap then just follow this link.
Here we go…
About a third of the delicate medical devices had been compromised, their reinforced glass lids smashed when the husks forced their way free. That meant there were forty of their once human occupants now loose on the ship.
Two of those approached him now, one from the left and one from the right.
Still moving forward, Ryan spun to his left, sending a short burst of plasma into the creature’s flesh. The second one lunged, but he skipped away before stilling it with another burst from his gun.
Twenty paces, left; half-way there.

Hope he has an unlimited supply of plasma bursts! Great job with the unrelenting tension. Looking forward to Ryan finding Dr. Evans.
Thanks. The gun is automatically replenished from his armour but he’s nowhere near the limit of his ammunition.
I second the praise of your tension. How big is this story going to be by the time you’re finished, Goran? Any other plans for it? It really is great.
Thanks Kylie. I really appreciate your comments every week. It is so satisfying to know that you are enjoying the story. With regards to your question I do have an outline in mind but I am purposely not writing ahead of the six sentences so I’m not sure how big it will become or what I might do with it when it’s done. A lot of challenges are still ahead for our hero… getting to the Doctor is just the start of his problems.
Loving the action and your words are carefully chosen to add tension and suspense!
Gotta agree with everyone else, Goran. The tension in this story is delicious. (And knowing there are 40 husks had me wanting to go back for a body count. 40?!)
Can’t wait for him to get to the doctor!
This is so tense! I’m mentally totting up how many husks he has already dispatched. Lovely stuff.
Forty husks. Damn. Is that’s just so far, or are their more about to claw their way out of cryo?
Very intense. I just read the linked earlier posts. Wow. I love this story! Excellent
Wow! I’m on the edge of my seat. Great six.
