The others got there just in time and so it was a good end for Russell and his kids. They are slowly trying to build a sustainable community. It will be interesting to see what exactly will be sustained as new/more survivors join the group. I'm hoping Russell brings with him a valuable, necessary skill, especially for what lies ahead.
Thanks for another great couple of chapters, Wayne.
Aw, Bill, thank you for taking me back. This was my first anthology story and I was so happy it was well received. Thanks for reading it and for the review. I'm also a little glad you didn't see the twist coming. lol.
Hi Bill. I'm so glad you liked this story. Thank you for reading, leaving a comment and reviewing. I appreciate that very much. As for the layout, I will pay attention to the formatting as you are correct in noting it's difficult to read as is. Thanks again.
The way this story had me in a hold. One of my very favorite post-apocalyptic novels is Earth Abides. This reminds me of it as I was reading. Great stuff. I'll definitely be back to catch up with the group. I can only imagine the road ahead for them. I'm so glad I stumbled on this.
For Carlos
Life rushed on day after day, then
Two years had passed—still hard to say
Though time has flown, and you’re not here
Through your words, we travel and keep you near
Your pen could craft a world unseen
Paint a canvas of bright and vivid scenes
In every word I write today
In all your tales, your spirit stays
You left us pages to explore
And so, you live in what we adore
An engine roars and I think of you riding

Hi all, It's been an age.
Want to wish you all a Happy New Year. Hope everyone is well, and my wish is that the year ahead is filled with only good for you!
See you around,
Def
Hi Jose,
After reading Parker's tribute, I had to take a break from reading and give myself some space. So I get it, although it wasn't my intention to bring anyone to tears. 😊 Thank you for connecting with it. I think this was a wonderful way to celebrate our friend. We will always miss him, and I'd like to think like tim, Carlos knows all the things we didn't say.
Thanks again
I think what I was most afraid of, was it all being so final. But, reading the other tributes have been comforting and I love that for all of us who will miss him.
You have been a good friend to me Gary, thank you.
Aww, that is the thing with all the tributes. They all bring something different and I'm happy you could draw your own memories and laugh through the tears.
Thank you.
