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.

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.

Additional take-away from this sadness;
1.Vest ,Level 4, multi hit rated
2. Use new Hornady higher velocity factory ammo in your M1A or
3. hand load with high velocity and fragmenting bullets; no survivors to tag you. See post of today.

Tearfully,

Grand I know I am going to have to re read this one, once I get the tears out of my eyes so I can.
This is one terrific story you've put us right there with them...and I have faith you won't let him die.
Thank you
