Bro, you need to write a book(s).

I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I’m thinking about turning this story into a shorter novel. Just trying to figure out what my work schedule will be here and will start working on it. Thanks again!

Left me hanging when the mom was taken out. Lol.

That was the plan…lol. Maybe a lot more to come? We’ll see…Glad you enjoyed it man! People like yourself are the reason I write these.

I figured it was. Keep them coming. Loved it.

It’s hard to say I enjoyed the story, Ryan. I could easily envision each and every scene and easily substitute my Savannah like community into the horrific scenes. By the end of the story, I felt as if I’d been a witness to all of it and my heart feels hollow. I know this is coming to our neighborhoods….the wolves are among us. I only hope that in that day, I can remember what I’ve learned, get my family to safety, and do what I can to help others around me. Stay on the wall with your clarion call.

I can see it being made into a movie if you expand more on it. The scary thing is that I'm sure this is part of the attack on the homeland plans. All of this could happen when SHTF.

I appreciate that. Yes. This is all very realistic and plausible.

Thanks so much! That was my intent. Already brainstorming how I can turn it into a short novel. Spread it around to family and friends to read. Everyone needs to read this and learn from it.

Great story! It reads like a map. A spark to start a fire in people's heart. A fire that burns from the center of their being to the most outward part! A fire like this creates a thurst. A thurst for knowledge, a thurst for an edge and the upper hand. Your stories force me to put myself in those scenarios. To rethink situations, locations and gear! Thank you amd God bless!

Wow. Deep and insightful...and sadly, a very real issue that can happen but most are too distracted or have their head buried in the sand. As always, the writing was masterful and vivid. You have a future novel inside you waiting to come out!
