Season two, Episode Ten “Logistics”

After the ApocalypseA Pandemic Survival StorySeason two, Episode Ten “Logistics”

Mags looked at the old man with a tiredness that belied the weight of the world on her shoulders.

She hadn’t been getting enough sleep.

There was so much to do.

There was always too much to do.

She had to stay on top of the details.

They couldn’t afford to lose any more people to this chaotic world.

How had she been thrust into the leadership role of this small and broken tribe? She didn’t know if she was up to the task, but she would keep working to make something out of this and out of them.

If humans were to survive and move forward, it would take groups of people working collaboratively. She thought that, just maybe, this group could be the start of something good.

She wasn’t going to let that die on her watch.

Hello my survivor friends.

Had some interesting irony this week. I started reading ‘The Stand’ by Steven King. I’m 2 weeks and 700+ pages in. It’s a big book and takes a long time to build. I’ll have more thoughts on it when I’m finished.

If I ever finish.

The ironic part is that I picked up a cold over Christmas from my 87-year-old Mom. Which is ironic in itself because we’ve been trying so hard to protect her from the actual pandemic and she turns around and gives us all a bad cold.

I was hoping to get a lot done in my week off – and that statement right there tells you a lot about me and my neuroses – but I was sick and spent a lot of time reading and resting, which was good timing to tackle the oversized tome that is The Stand.

Here’s the ironic part; I’m lying in bed reading about all these characters who think they only have a cold actually having a superflu that wipes out humanity. At the same time I’m writing a story about a pandemic apocalypse where everyone dies from a virus and listening to the news about a raging pandemic.

Talk about meta! I’m a character with a sore throat and a runny nose during a global pandemic, reading about a global pandemic apocalypse and writing about a global pandemic apocalypse.

That was my week.

Season four, Episode twelve – “Coffee”

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode twelve – “Coffee”...Coffee.It wasn’t great coffee. But at this point, who complained about coffee? It reminded Brent of that horrid, watery instant coffee the British drank on his deployment in the UK. Nescafe polluted so heavily with petrochemical derived creamers and sugar that it was more of a science project than a coffee. He relaxed into the cafeteria chair and dreamed about good coffee. “Ahhh… But the good stuff…” He reminisced, leaning back in the sun of the window, closing his eyes, and feeling the gentle heat of the sun through the glass on his face. “Dark espresso pressed in small cups and so strong it made your tongue curl around your teeth.” He smiled....Our Amazon Affiliate Code -> runic00-20Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

Season four, Episode eleven – “Embers”

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode eleven – “Embers”…Bill the Dog could sense concern. He could smell worry, tinged with the need for action. It was time to move. His right hip ached a bit from the effort of chasing down and disarming the kids. The pain was new to Bill. It started after climbing through that window. Bill was made for action, but windows and hard tile floors were not in his training.Bill wasn’t a puppy anymore. Like all good dogs, he had little concept of time and no concept of ‘getting old’. His experiences yesterday just made him a better dog for today. There was no sense of tomorrow. There was only now.If there was anything that men could learn from dogs, it was to live in the moment.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode ten – “The New State”…“I don’t care who you were!” The General began. “I don’t care what you’ve done!” He continued. He looked out at the newcomers like an eagle eyeing a field full of rats trying to decide which one to eat first. His audience was the assembled remnants of The King’s men which Brent had brought back from the DC. Numbering a dozen, they stood uneasily in their dirty clothes. The wounded sat in wheelchairs. Some stared at the floor or off into empty space, exhausted and defeated and depleted. Others glowered like defiant teenagers....Our Amazon Affiliate Code -> runic00-20Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode nine – “the General”...“I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” The General finished his morning prayer, lifted his hands from the well-worn leather-bound bible, and felt the peace of that practice in his soul. The bible was a gift from his wife when they first got married. Sometimes they prayed together in the mornings. The practice cemented their partnership. It got them through the hard times. And there were plenty of hard times to be gotten through in a soldier’s life. ...Our Amazon Affiliate Code -> runic00-20Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode eight – “Post-Natal”...The mid-afternoon sun slanted through the dining hall windows and illuminated the two boys, Petey and Warren, hunched over large bowls of rice and beans, shoveling food into their mouths like it was some sort of carnival eating contest. Paul looked beyond the ‘kids’ at the bullet holes in the glass panels of the front door and immediately began thinking about how to fix them. One of those boomers at the zoo probably knew how to fix and re-mortar a window. But should he bother? Was it even worth it now? ...Our Amazon Affiliate Code -> runic00-20Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode seven – “Starve”...Their thoughtful walk and conversation was interrupted by the echo of nearby gunshots and muted shouting - sounds that bounced their way through the campus off the walls of the empty dormitories and old classrooms. The sounds were out of place and jarring, like derisive curses overheard at an elegant dinner party. Paul and the Old Man, and Bill the Dog – the three of them - stopped on a dime and locked eyes with each other, instantly, wordlessly communicating the reality of the life-or-death tension that, here in the apocalypse, seemed to perpetually hang in the air at every turn....Our Amazon Affiliate Code -> runic00-20Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Pannageorgio had confined the old man to his recovery room at the campus, but the old man was feeling better and chafing at the restrictions. Since his conversation with Jen, he felt motivated.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode five – “Government”…Brad was exhausted. (pause)He had spent the morning supervising the construction of the trench around the perimeter. They were making good progress, but never enough and never fast enough. He knew Rome wasn’t built in a day but that would be cold comfort when the next storm came. He could not remember the last time he had gotten a good night’s sleep. Since the battle, he had been busy inventorying what had been used, what was damaged, and what was left. In the heat of the action against the King there hadn’t been much focus on controlling the check-out of items and materials. Now he would be the one to clean up the inventory records. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Hosted on Acast.
