    I think Mother Nature's already upset. It took centuries between the Black Plague and the Spanish Flu. Both cleared the world of the weakest amongst us. HIV, Ebola, SSAR, and now Covid-19 are newer attempts at population control, but we are able to limit the damage. All have jumped from animals to humans, and I fear with the world so densely packed and interconnected, this will not be the last time we face such a crisis. The world will be a much different place a year from now. Let's hope the pain we're experiencing and the lingering effects will sober us up.

    Lincoln will pop in and out of other stories. Keep an eye on him.

    I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. Help, I need a question or two.

    Aaron's a creep and Rory's an idiot. At his age he should show a backbone and grow a pair. Only reason I'm still reading! While skipping long boriNg sections, is to find out what happens.

    I think my inability to write the past couple of weeks is in part due to the damn virus. Everything I've written happening post 12/31/19 is now part of an alternate reality where the pandemic didn't happen. I know it's all fiction but it messes me up anyway. My mojo better return, I have to write about Linc and CJ both being at the Mexico City Embassy in the fall of 2021. By the end of that posting Linc will have

    And that's when I'm sober!

    Thanks, bud. I hope you're keeping safe.

    I've seen the same thing with long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS. Why were some of us spared when others lost their lives at such a young age.

    I talked to a double amputee while plannin/researching this story. Ten years after losing his legs in a boating disaster, he still has phantom pain. It's why I included a little bit about Brad wanting to 'air out' his stump when he was in California. That would have been 3 years after losing them. Thanks for reading and the comment!

    The wild child's growing up!

    The way I see him, Linc definitely fits the brick shithouse image. I also see him as being older than the 'kids' he's hanging around with and maybe a bit more restrained. That's an attribute that will come in handy at any embassy when he has to deal with diplomats. Maybe @Mann Ramblings can one day come up with the banner, my graphic design capabilities are next to non-existent.

    No need to apologize, Wes. I named that chapter trying to warn people. We all have different triggers for what gets to us. Stay Safe!

    Social isolation's getting to me, I barely remember how to speak properly!

    You too, my friend.

    Exactly what I hoped readers would get from the chapter (in addition to the Everhope descriptions LOL) When facing what may seem as insurmountable challenges, having short and long-term goals can keep us focused on what our next steps should be. The idea of talking to Licoln came from Patrick's brother and I also wanted to show Brad's listening to others and not closing himself off.

    He has an army behind him, so his recovery definitely owes a lot to friends and family. We should all be that lucky.

    It's been over a year since Brad lost his legs, and he's still mending. I think his friends offering support without sugarcoating his situation can spur him to keep fighting.
  19. Carlos Hazday
    I wanted to show how Lincoln is slowly but surely being folded into the group of friends. The fact he's willing to spend time with Brad and offer honest advice proves he's a good man.

    Cussing is acceptable. How about I share a short story on Wednesday and the next Ranger chapter on Friday? At least that may give you a quick fix and help pass the time.

    The Housewarming

    Carlos Hazday posted new chapter in Ranger

    September 2020 “¿Como estás, Linc? Coje a Liebe un minuto, por favor.” CJ’s grandmother pecked Lincoln on the cheek, placed her great-granddaughter in his hands, and spread her arms wide. “Brad, it’s so good to see you. You look well.” Rising from the patio bench, Brad leaned down to hug the much shorter woman. His balance on the artificial legs had improved significantly, but his stance remained a little wider as a safety measure. “Thanks, Aba. You look fantastic. What was it y

    Yeah, sure.

    You're going to enjoy next month's Ask An Author. Put it to bed yesterday.

    Wasn't it Singapore scientists who detected the bat DNA or whatever? Seems selling exotic animals for human consumption is big business in China.
