I think it’s fantastic. I’m always a sucker for a good apocalypse story. And you’re just a good fucking writer and a skilled storyteller. Keep on keeping on man.
It just made me think of before cell phones and internet and computers and video games. I saw it all created in my life growing up. I remember life before and after.
This is good stuff, honestly (I mean, what reason do I have to lie being the guy watching the water tower through a scope, somewhat indifferent and not a fan of the few left ruining my peaceful quiet). Probably the kind of stuff that could be brought down to my level through a graphic novel as well. Keep it up and keep us in the loop - I think you’ll do the rusty Karen soon enough
This is awesome. I love post-apocalyptic stories and that particular narrator's perspective is such a cool way to tell it. I hope you keep up the series. I need to know more!!
Not bad at all. Plays simultaneously as a great homage, a great lampoon, and a harsh look at the typical scenarios of fictional post apocalypse societies, all while being a fun read to boot. Drip and, for lack of a name, the convict both have voices which mark them as coming from that similar walk of life while still being distinct. Their manner of speech has overlap, but Drip comes off as that annoying and compulsively talkative type, while the convict reads as the more serious one who finds it annoying, but not enough to give up what's worked well for him up to this point. The convict being our focal character is also one of those times where a self insert character works damn well, too. (We all know he's your self insert lol.) It gives us the perspective of someone who would thrive in a fucked world like that without painting him as a hero or villain, which would be the more likely brush in most post-apoc fiction. Nope, the convict's just someone doing what he has to do to better his life. It just so happens that his skill set revolves around taking from others. Oh, and pooping wherever he wants. Freedom, baby!
Even after the Final Flu puckerlips, I want you to swear you will leave the path to poop. I’m not even remotely badass, but I’m hell with a slingshot—just ask the squirrels.
I haven't been here long so I never knew you wrote really good fiction. I love that the character rings quite true to what I picture you to be like. Indeed in such a world, if I survived being hit by whatever falling debris come from nowhere, I would be definitely more wary of your type :).

Moar.
Or else, uh, you’re Mom.
187% 😂
Pooping anywhere you want has made San Francisco a wonderful place to walk in the pre apocalypse.

I’m digging it.
Fascinating stuff. Would you continue to write? For whom?
I’m picturing Euell Gibbons doing that Grape Nuts commercial. ‘If you had to, you could eat a krugerrand”.

I'll read more
Doesn’t make a damn in the post really, but consider changing ‘passed’ to ‘past’ in the book release.
“Once you got passed the unimaginable loss of life”

This is great work, please keep it coming.
Yeeessss! I love good post-apoc fiction and I'm loving this. And I want to know what a Rusty Karen is. Or do I...?
Looks like you found another talent, writing fiction! Good stuff.
