Chapter 14 Now Available on My Website

[Bob Schroeck]

---

Wow.... That was yet another stunning chapter.

---

Thanks!

---

It was.. creepy for lack of a better word in the Jennifer/Nene scene.

---

I'm glad to see that I succeeded there; but I've already covered my intentions in another message, so I won't repeat myself here.

---

Also like all good stories the ending leaves me wanting more.

---

I'll admit it, I love a good cliffhanger. So much so I sometimes have trouble stopping at places without one. Almost from the very first incarnation of the story outline, I set up cliffhanger endings for virtually every chapter. Not all of them made it in, and the way some of the chapters split and grew (for instance, 12, 13 and 14 were all originally outlined as parts of a single chapter!) mutated the plan a little. But overall I've managed to hit almost every ending sentence I intended on using.

---

I'm looking forward to the scene where Doug wakes up and tries to puzzel out what "went wrong" with the boomers at the end there.

---

Oh, Doug knows what "went wrong" -- he in fact talks at length earlier in the chapter about anticipating it. It was just a lot more severe than he expected.

---

Like some of the others I noticed a few minor typoes and I'll pass them along when I do a reread if they havn't turned up by then.

---

Fair enough. Thanks.
