Wow...what a powerful chapter! .....

...I must be getting old and in need of glasses...the keyboard is blurry....

Thanks, Grand. Another emotional rollercoaster of a chapter.

Thank you so much, Grand! I was kinda annoyed that you suspended "Lucky" for a story that started out with a teenage girl asking a stranger for a light, but man, am I glad you did what you did! This has been one of the best reads I've had in years and years!

Thank you. I appreciate the comment. Sometimes things just grab hold of your brain and you can't help but write about them. I speak to this point in the afterthoughts, but I knew as soon as I started "Lucky" had to be put on hold. I appreciate the readers indulging my "little" side story here.

THANKS GRAND for a GREAT STORY. Looking foreward too 2nd ch. pt 2

Did I miss the epilogue somewhere that wraps it all up?

I was wondering the same thing.

Two, one chapter and the epilogue.

I believe there is the epilogue (according to a previous post he made). What i'm secertly hopeing is that he re writting and adding some stuff, i can not wait.

Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong Grand. Excellent story by the way

Simple: He's waiting to see how Charlie pulls through :D

What kind of story would I have without any suspense? The epilogue hasn't been posted (yet) but it's already written.

[Gwynmael]

I think RememberGoliad has it right - just like FOTH with Einar & Liz.

Grand - ouch. ;) If I get any further on the edge of my seat I'm going to fall off!
I think the only thing worse than waiting for news at a hospital is the frantic drive to get there.

This story, I'm trying to come up with a better word cuz it just doesn't do it justice, has been a roller coaster of emotions. Surprise, hope, anger, fear, curiousity, panic, joy, pain, anticipation, dread, tears, laughter, heart thumping action, and gasps of shock. The best stories always are.

Take your time sir, I have been awaiting this ending since I joined this site last year and the whole journey has been worth it......one of the best stories I have ever read, in Survival Fiction, you have made my Top 5.

Being from Upper, upper East Tennessed, this story has been awesome. Knowing the area, (Unicoi county, Erwin, Johnson City, etc) has made the story personal to me. Great jog, you should have NO trouble getting this published.
