The Last Boys in Clinton 1. Clinton Boys

This semi-apocalyptic tale challenges the reader to consider what would one do if one day you awakened to find you seem to be the only one alive?  Luckily, there are others who survive what initially is a mystery.  Questions abound:  how do you survive?  When is taking what one needs for survival not stealing?  What happens when the majority of the elected government is wiped out at once? 

All these questions are dealt with in this relatively short story.  It does not answer all the questions raised in the story, which I find satisfactory as life does not answer all questions, but rather challenges us to find the answers as we live the experiences which form our lives.  Of course, this allows for an author to write sequels....hint! 

Lee Wilson is a gifted writer.  it is definitely worth reading and pondering this story and the questions it raises.

What happens when you discover that almost all those anywhere close to you are gone in the blink of an eye.  What would you do, and would you have what it takes to survive.  Could you help others, or only worry about yourself?

An interesting story that is attempts to answer these questions, well written as always and the characters were truly memorable.

I think most that give this story a shot will enjoy it.  The two main reasons it lost a star for me were the lack of closure, yes, I realize that there may well be a sequel for the three boys, but so many other stories were left with no real answers.  The other was the lack of menace for the type of story it was.  I don't mean death and gore, but the fear of what was going on seemed to be missing for me, but neither reason is strong enough to keep me from recommending this story to all.  

One heck of an effort in response to Prompt #9!!!

It begs the question, what would you do if you woke up one morning, and nothing was the same?

I will refrain from saying too much about this for apparently there is a sequel coming. But I put 5 stars here so people might read this before the sequel.You'll enjoy it 

This was a well-written tale and a story to be enjoyed, despite the fact that the author should have been more aware of places with similar names for the lab and the fact that prevailing winds normally blow from west to east.  (Another author, on another site, named a fictional city in 2004 and gave it a fictional location, only to be informed that there was a real town of 3,000 with the same name at the location he gave as fiction for a city of 125,000!)  Sometimes Google Maps can be your friend.  In spite of a couple of drawbacks like this, I give the story five stars because it is such a pleasure to read -- once you get past what happens in the first two chapters, and questions start being answered.

Suspense builds as more questions are raised and questions are answered.  I recommend this story as a good read that intrigues, interests, and involved readers.

This is a truly amazing response to Prompt #9.

Read on to discover what happens when two friends, run into school and find no-one there.

It's difficult to say much more, without giving anything away, especially as there is likely to be a 2nd book, sometime in the future.
