Six Sentence Sunday #12


Hello! For this week's six, I've taken a random excerpt from Book Four - Seekers of the Nine. Read and hopefully enjoy. Then please check out the other writers in SSS here.



'We need him under our control!'

'We need him alive in the first place!'

Ah, that sounded promising. So his life had some value. Value could be traded. And it would be far more pleasant to be allowed to live.
