I like this gritty damn the torpedoes style you write with.

LOL thanks! I guess it only took me thirty years to develop. :)

ha! he took the bullets out.. this just goes to prove that there are no unsequelable stories.
So why would he want that life now? I mean, it’s over. Life as they knew it, gone. So why would he turn on him?

Now it’s a case of survival. Fighting for food shortages, prestige, Jody’s wife…. :)

Now this one worked… it’s similar in style to your pre-prequel story, but the joke came across as not sounding cheesy and it fit well with the story. You made my muses giggle.

BTW I agree with MJY that about your no nonsense approach to writing.

I read your comment on one of my stories, and wanted to clearify. It’s not that stories can’t have punchlines, it just your first story in this series had a punchline that overtook the storyline, rather than accentuating it. And it seemed like you were trying to write a story and not just a joke.
