This was a great continuation…though I thought the characters were a bit younger until the beer comment.

I just fixed a mistake. I’d originally got “Derrick” and “Ron” the wrong way around in the last paragraph. Whoops!

I see them as being in their late teens, not far over the drinking age of eighteen.

Gahhh!
That mystery meat should be put in the incinerator!

Oh no, that was a dastardly turn. Starting to sound like a Steven King story. Or is it Stephen? I forget, but great installment.

wow i gotta read the prequel now

Glad I stumbled upon this… need to read the others now. What’s an esky?? A cooler?

Yes, “esky” is Australian for cooler.

Thanks for the kind comments. It was really important to try and write something worthy of the suspense that had been developed by the previous writer.

Just got back from holidays to find the new views and replies. Thanks for the votes of confidence folks!
