R.E. …..you did a wonderful job of developing distinct characters for this post apocalyptic tale. Different storylines weave separately and sometimes come together like vibrating wave lengths to see how this new world fell apart and survived by families, some deep in the woods, sometimes small communities, good and bad, and those who embraced others to keep civilization alive with as much love and kindness that could be given out in this new power structure ruled by good people and very evil convicts as well as power hungry politicians. Thank you R.E….Well Done.
