Good chapter. I see this as taking a deep breath before jumping off the high dive. Once a group organizes, I believe the powers that be will consider them a threat. I would love to see them hold an election and Joe doesn't get one single vote. I think he is going to be trouble. He's already trying a power grab.

I think the little group is coming along very well. I like that they have meeting around a campfire. It not only serves as a means of physical warmth but psychological warmth as well. The need to stay connected to each other in some way and to be organized against a common evil. I don't know which direction you are taking this, but in my opinion it should be somewhat of a dictatorship for now. A strong leader is what is needed in this instance.

Mikey, the relationships are in place, a plan is being forged and it looks like a potential Judas has just showed his face. Nice surprise that old Joe is a politician and that spells trouble. Already a rift. Good job. :0 GracieAnn

Well, for one thing, kick that senator in the ass. A leader- hah! But really, why form a country at all? There are no real institutions left. They might be better off just forming the tribe of Yosemite.

Uh, oh. Joe's part of the establishment, and he'll want to do things the old, dumb way, that wasn't working.
what a dirty word that is, "govern". >> YES! Right on, brother!

I shall skip the million responses that I am behind. Yes!! That is what I needed to hear. Johnny is listening to that idiot and thinking of taking his people and leaving. But, he's pissed now. Time to shut that fool up and LEAD! Thank you very much!!!!

Good chapter with necessary discussions for a community to make. Maybe, there will be votes cast to elect a leader, but it is a foregone conclusion who it will be. The characters are all so different, but very alive-your good writing enabled that. Like you said, intervention from the outside is bound to come sooner or later. Enjoyable read as always. Faye

This is REAllY becoming intriguing! I would delete the "Christine creation" paragraph. Too much in Johnny's head. I love the way you don't let the reader in on what's happening; we know no more than the campers. It does seem like you have something in mind, though. The tension between Johnny and Joe has some interesting possibilities.

You pose some serious questions in this one. You are also doing a great job debating the right and wrong of every suggestion, leaving the reader to decide for him/herself what the right answer is. I found one nit and have one more comment:
enenmies... should be enemies
You opening paragraph is really quite profound.

It is not good to have a vacant spot of power. But you must be wiling to change that power when the circumstances change. Their world has changed from a vast space to a small national park. They need to control the basis firs, food, shelter and protection.. The power they knew is not needed and will not be for awhile. Great work.
