I am trying to catch up so please excuse the cut and past review. I am glad you are moving away from the violence and I enjoyed the dialogue between Christine and Johnny. I am off to read the next chapter.

    Hi! No rush, you can do a bunch at once if that is easier. Yes, I wasn't liking all the mega violence all that much. I'd rather focus on Christine! Yum!!! mikey

I think Lester and genetic inbred experiment of a clan may be refugees from Duck Dynasty. Be careful. They have probably lived in them there hills for generations.

Still keeping us inthralled and wondering. It's said land's the new gold... but of course the government reserves the right to take that from us too. Your "new folks" are kind of considered a bunch of yahoos by most, but if you can live off the land, you have an advantage if there's a disaster.

This was a well-written interesting chapter with the continuing adventures of the castaways! It feels rather like a desert island in a way, but I see we have now met some more of the survivors. You have made good use of language in the narrative and descriptions and the dialogue and characters are well drawn. Enjoyable read. Faye

Mikey, it's good to be back reviewing the story and you have moved in a better and more redeemable direction at this point. Great idea to introduce a second group. The story line of the romance is a nice touch, too. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

You're doing fine, Mikey. Go with your gut instinct. Personally, I like where this is going. I was once an avid bow hunter. I t would be smart, an idea time to spy on them campers in the dark. But if they have got anything worth protecting they will have a 24/7 watch, changing guard every four, six hours if they got the man-power and judging by what you said, there is a flock of them. An accurate head count of how many would be a good start. Doing what you say, is reconasance, simply observing the scene. Also, they must be eating fairly good to support such a large group. They must have resources hidden, reserves, no telling where they got it from. Maybe, David was a victim of circumstance, in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sure, they don't trust each other, either. They probably got a trusted person guarding the goods, food, supplies 24/7. If the Scouts, see someone guarding a shack, maybe, a red flag that's where the goods are stored. I'm sure, if spies are caught, they will be dealt with harshly. Sounds like they got something other than food they are guarding judging by the old ladies conversation? Let me know what you come up with, i'm getting entertained and interested in this backwoods saga. Them hillbillies look like the ones on Deliverance. Maybe, the old hag runs the show. This is an exception write in my opinion with no obvious errors. It looks ship-shape--mate.

This is really getting exciting! I haven't yet read the chapter about David's death, but I'm sure I will soon. This chapter moves along at a rapid pace and holds the reader's interest throughout. Keep going - I think this will be a good one!

Another good chapter, Mikey, and a nice progression again to the story, widening the world a bit with the introduction of the new group and the ending mention of the president and whatever plans are being discussed. He and Christine need to just do the deed and get it over with. ;-)

"Yes. Yes. That bugged the hell out of me. We're up here at recon five (I think you mean Defcon Five

    Oh good. Wasn't sure if the President and his plans was a good idea. Yeah, they need to get down. Johnny's had lesbians before, he's on it! Hahaha. I was playing off him being Recon Johnny. Too obscure. My private jokes shouldn't be meant for just myself I suppose!! Glad you liked this chapter. Exploring the waters with this one. Okay, diving in now. mikey
