Great stuff - please keep it coming! The Bug Out short, but wow... your mouth is guaranteed to be left hanging open. 
as I said at the campout, the uninfected guy creeps me out... my "spidey sense" is tingling, but since I'm a little "paranoid," I can't wait to read more and find out if I'm right or wrong... more, please.  He's young, male, has been alone for about a year according to him, and has just met an attractive female. Yeah. Anyone who knows anything about this sort of thing knows that we're in for lots of awkward moments and hitting upon. He probably jerked himself dry the night before.

America is at that awkward stage where it's too late to change things from within and too early to shoot the bastards.

OK - I'll lighten up on the guy... LOL... waiting for more awkward moments... |

Now, I'm no longer surprised at the stupidity of criminals (or anyone else) but you've got to be pretty damn stupid to invade a home in Texas. It's like playing the death lottery. - Zan

Awesome David, just plain awesome. Why do you keep doing this to me? I get interested in one of your stories and can't get enough.... and then it stops. GRrrrrrr! I'm just happy I got to the Lights Out party late; I had my Halffast fix!
A few of questions: 1) How is progress on Lost and Found? Is it ready for us to buy a copy to finish the story? Is the story even finished? 2) Are you planning on Dead Reckoning being a serial like before, or are you going to try and publish it all at once? 3) Do you need help proof-reading? And not JUST because I'd like to read the stuff early, but I'm actually pretty good at that type of thing! Thanks again for the great tales - you're giving the Doomers and Gloomers of the world what we love - a great apocalyptic adventure! |

"Al-taqiyya" means that no non-Muslim can believe anything told to them by any Muslim. For that Muslim to lie to you counts as a 'good work' to gain salvation.

Halffast,
Like others have said....another internet soap opera to keep up with ...just yanking your chain.
Keep it up. 7mm PS I gave my printout of "Lights Out" to my hunting buddy. He was on the path of being self sufficient now he is working double time to get 'off the grid' now. Now I'm the one kidding him about where I'm going if SHTF...his answer is bring enough gun.

This is an excellent story so far. Haven't Halffast on any website in a while, so I'm not sure if he's taking a break from the cyber-world fro a while or if he has been kidnapped by nefarious, anti-patriotic goons, but it sure would be great to see him do some more work on this story.

While i wouldn't hazard a guess as to when he'll get back on it (because he's working on getting "Lights Out" in print) I can assure you this story will be finished or i'll die aggravating him about it Patience is a virtue that i don't posses either and while i can't tell you when or anything else........ I can tell you this story is worth the wait IMO |

Unfortunately i don't think you will be getting anymore chapters on arfcom.
Halffast was told by a Site Staff member that since he was now a "published" author he couldn't post anymore incomplete books that he planned on selling later.(something to that effect) Kinda sucks considering other published authors are doing virtually the same thing certainly putting teasers of their work out there. (My opinion Halffast made the wrong person mad  ............)

Donne3 is right. There is more to this story. Unfortunately, because I now have a published book that is for sale, I have been told by Senior Site Staff that I can no longer post any partial stories here. I want to let everyone know that I really appreciate all of the support and encouragement that I have received over the years from the ARFCOM community. You guys and gals are the best!
