some seconds

Hi,

PLease take a look at the following (in bold):

Connection has been lost. Your session will be restored in some seconds.

I wonder if the pronoun 'some' sounds ok to you here?
Are the alternative versions below any better?

(1) Your session will be restored in a few seconds.
(2) Your session will be restored in a short while.

Looking forward to your comments.

No. It should be 'a few'.

Both are better than the original, especially (1).
