Thanks, Buddy. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.

Dinner Date, and got lucky. Was going home afterward... is my guess.

They could raid a BassPro shop and get some of the Freeze Dried Ice Cream. It's pretty good, lasts a long time, and melts in your mouth.

Let's relive a scene from last year. The night the Lightning beat the Bruins, to go on to Round Three. Adam loved it, Rob not so much. Duncan loved being there with his two men.

Just dangle some live bait in front of it. Then drop a mountain on it.

Book 5, Finding Eros in Florida, was the third story I posted to GA, after this one, but is sat uncompleted and on hold. It still is. Book 4 I'm currently writing, and I have chapter 1 done, and starting chapter 2. What happened was, I had notes that linked A New Life and a New Home, with Finding Eros in Florida, and then when I wrote My Son I used those notes changing several things, to make it all make a bit more sense. When I linked them all together, A New Life and a New Home came first, followed by My Son, then A Few Days in the Life of Jeremy Isen, next is Family Always Has Your Back, with Finding Eros in Florida being the last one. Jeremy's story is complete but is waiting for final edits, and Eros' story the entire first chapter will be changed from what is posted. After that, there are 3 shorts I have planned. One you already know about, from the DiC, and two more that deal with the fallout of Duncan learning about < REDACTED > and does < REDACTED >, and then later < REDACTED >, Jeremy, and Travis does < REDACTED >.

Ok... no bells... But, I'll bring a woodchipper. I don't see a zombie regenerating after that.

Thanks, Buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed this first chapter. You'll see more of them in later books 3 and 4, and a very special not-so-secret short that Will be posted after the final book, book 5, in the series is completed.

Suuuuurrreeeee you weren't. Imagine if Richie, Jeremy and the rest of the kids had a rocket launcher? That zombie would be toast.

I'll be there, with bells on.

Queue the song by R.E.M. - It's the End of the World.

This was another good chapter. We see the boys, have another tender moment while getting back to the "house." The caution in handling the military grade dynamite, and keeping the blasting caps away from the sticks. And the discussion about the plane around the table went about how I expected. The old saying of, "Trust but Verify" comes to mind.

True, but they are not going to get the information they need, sitting in camp. There is caution, and then there is inaction. Staying put would be a detriment.

Wow... Just WOW... This chapter had it all. Tension, emotion, conflict, and now a glimmer of hope that there is more than just them. After two years, of just surviving, now they have a goal to work on and a decision to make. Do they leave the safety and certainty of "The Camp," their home for two years, to head in a direction they don't know, or for how long to find the others? Or Stay? That would be one hell-of-a-talk. But first, they have Captain Blue Balls to deal with. I loved the tender moment that Jeremy and Richie had in the truck. It was an excellent way for the two of them to show love, and to calm each other down. Like this is not your typical Zombie story, this is also not your typical Teenager story. These kids have come together, to form a family, as I mentioned before, but they have had to grow up Pretty Damn Quick. Heck, you pointed out in chapter 2 or 3, that their living condition is not that private. With hearing Mike and Will jacking off in their "room" with walls of blankets, and with Richie and Jeremy going at it in their sheet wall room. There wouldn't be that many secrets among them, nor any issues with seeing each other in compromising situations. I'll disagree with some of the others who say the plane is a bad omen. It's been two years since the changes. Finding other survivors in a remote area in the mountains, would not be a priority. Now, if they can find an Amature Radio Station in either the police station or in someone's house, and a couple of generators to supply power enough to run it and the signal booster, they would have a shot of contacting other survivors. If you don't mind me asking, how many more chapters do we have of this fraking fantastic story?

One of the themes that were leaked about STD (an apt abbreviation), was that the Federation's Utopia Society Fails, and breaks down because Socialism never works. They screwed the pooch and took it out to appease the SJWs. I think that would have been a saving grace for the show if they kept it in.

Hell Yeah!

700 on the list now.

I've always felt that exposition had its place in any story. This was a perfectly executed one. Enough tension, drama, doubts, heartache, to make all the characters feel real. I like how you did the flashback scenes, and bring up the morality of the decision of taking the former human out. These kids were forged into a family.

Specifically, White Oak. If I remember my US History correct, they cut down a "forest" worth of White Oak, 200 trees, to make the USS Consitution, and her sister ship. Oh, dudes... I'm laughing harder than I should on this.

*Has the story in his head, but can't seem to get it on the Word.docx* I'm suffering from P.E.B.K.A.C. ... Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

Six days till my GA account turns into Lightning Hockey Central...

Thanks, Myr and all the crew. Happy Birthday, GA! Edit: What GA means to me is this... It's a community, that like a big family. Yeah, we fuss and fight, but in the end, we look out for each other. I've met some great people here. Became friends with several, and some they are more like family to me. I come from a big extended family in real-life, and I see GA as another part of it. Posting before coffee is not recommended.

*snickers madly*

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE!!! In all seriousness, tim, you have a knack of reaching into my chest, grab ahold of the feels there, and yank for all you're worth. Fantastic story, Bro. I loved every word of it.
