This is just my personal opinion, for whatever it's worth: I'd lose the bows and arrows. This piece had a "Hunger Games" feel to it, and still does, but I don't think you want to get anywhere close to that plotline. This has its own, very exciting, situation, characters and plot. I'd stay with that and ramp up the mystery. So far, the characters are interesting and well-drawn. You do dialogue very well, and it moves the story along at an intriguing pace.

Yes. I won't turn it that way. But, that would be a logical weapon to have. I don't see tribal wars or anything though. I've always been more interested in the characters than the story anyway. Sometimes I have to remember to have a story!! I'm way behind in answering these, so I'm going backwards. I do read everyone of them and keep every word of them in mind. The advice is very appreciated and helpful, mikey

I like where you're going so far, mikey. Just keep it up. Love the part about the Amazon women. I really am digging this story, my friend. Keep up the good work.

Things get more clear as time goes on. I keep thinking forward to spring, guess it's from having been a farmer's daughter. If a few young deer, as rare as they are, could be captured and raised, a flock of domestic animals could be started. Also I once knew a man who figured out squirrel storage places and robbed their stashes of pine nuts. If there is a way to get hand on seeds, garden could be started.

Hi, Mikey.
This chapter is the best you've done. Great dialogue that pushes the story forward well. You've shown very good visuals, and the surroundings of the forests. Well done.
Bye

This was less gruesome for me! It was an enjoyable chapter as it had some camaraderie spirit in it and that I think is important to have. I like the idea of the women being the warriors (I wouldn't be much good, I hate weapons!)Your characters have become very real and it read well. Enjoyable read. I am glad you weren't upset with me writing all that long spiel last time! Faye

I love the story. The group has found others are trying to steal food from others. They have guns. There is one problem with guns. They need manufactured bullets. Their use is limited. They have found other groups with bow and arrows. They are hunting game and finding it scarce. Okay, large game is scarce. I think you need to check out small game. Squirrels, rabbits, birds. Many large animals have lived off the them for a long time. Great work.
