A friend of mine wrote this, and showed it to me. I thought it was kind of funny. He said I could post it here, for the critisism that I assured him he would get.

[SAMWolf]

That's almost too close to the truth to be satire.

Bump

[Elisha]

Yeah, that's the part that ain't funny. Thanks for the bump.

Anti Destruction of Far Left Wing Propaganda Machine Act of 1992

Tell your friend I thought this was a riot! Good work.......

[Soaring Feather]

Nice. It's up there with "Sundown at Coffin Rock".

[Elisha]

He said thanks for your kind words.

[Elisha]

I'm glad, or should I say, 'happy,' that you enjoyed it.

[Elisha]

Thanks. I just read "Sundown at Coffin Rock." It is a tear jerker, the perfect bedtime story for a liberal. If you have not read "Sundown at Coffin Rock," here it is:

If you have not read "Sundown at Coffin Rock"

Oops!

Of course, you've read it. You told me about it.

[Shooter 2.5]

One of the links you posted also has the sequel, "Sunrise at Coffin Rock".

Don't miss it.

[Elisha]

Both one and two, seem well written to me, a non English Major.

The first, draws a picture of a time that we pray, will never come - but knowing that it could, the second gives us a modicum of reassurance.

It was good reading. Someone should repost it.

[Travis McGee]

Is this the first chapter of a coming novel? It's strong stuff!

[Elisha]

That's what I asked Wallace.

He said there were indeed more chapters, but he was reluctant to share them, before he had worked out more of the bugs.

I told him that as long as its free, I won't hold a few inconsistancies and typos against him.

He just grimaced and went back to his keyboard.

We will see...

That's almost too close to the truth to be satire.

Don't say that again, I get goosebumps.

[Travis McGee]

While I was writing my book, once I had some really strong chapters that "worked" as short stories I posted them on FR as threads like this one.

It's quiete a morale booster for the tired and long suffering author to get postive feedback along the way.

[Elisha]

Do you have any links to those threads on FR?

I would think as a writer, one would need encouragement from time to time, or often. Especially a new writer, like Wallace.

I read the first chapter of your book. It seemed flawless. Thank Goodness, they got that Gun off the streets.

[Travis McGee]

Links, lemme see, gimmee a moment.

[Travis McGee]

Here's a link to the The Raid thread. The link to the entire chapter is dead, but you can read all of the first 20 chapters on the EFAD website.
