Season two, Episode Ten “Logistics”

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode nineteen – “Escape” ...“Yes, I suppose the virus trigger could have been the result of genetic engineering - that could explain things....” The old man responded in disbelief. He looked bug-eyed and disoriented in this new revelation. The General sized the old man up. He looked at Janet too. There was a long silence. Like someone had said something unspeakable at a cocktail party and the gathering was trying to decide how to respond.What was he going to do with these two? ...

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason four, Episode eighteen – “Turn” ...It was dark and Brent was feeling his age. These 5AM morning runs weren’t as easy as they used to be. But it was his habit and he cherished it despite the discomfort. Every morning. Since boot camp. He’d rolled out of his rack and put in his 5 miles. Part of his routine. Like brushing his teeth. It set him up for a successful day. ‘Win the morning and win the day!’ Is what the drill sergeant said as the recruits moaned in their sleep deprivation. Brent had embraced the discipline....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 seventeen – “Close” ...“How much farther are we going tonight?” Brittany asked. She was carrying the baby in a sling on the front. It was hot. Her face was red with the effort of hiking and her hair stuck in sweaty clumps to her forehead.“We should at least be able to make it up to the road tonight.” The old man responded. “Then we can get up early and push through to the campus tomorrow. It can’t be more than a couple miles – another hour tops and we’ll be there.” He could tell the kids were tired. He was pushing them, but they needed to keep going. He was in a hurry now that he thought he might have a lead on the virus. He wanted to get back to the campus so he could take his research to the next step. As long as they were out on the trail, in gang country, there was danger. He couldn’t afford to lose them now. ...LinksOur 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 sixteen – “Duplicity”The General was talking about duty…“But what exactly does that mean?” Brent thought. Duty to what? Duty to whom? As far as Brent knew most of the ‘whoms’ were dead husks, greasy piles of bones in expensive suits moldering on the floors of Georgetown row houses. Brent’s sense of duty was as strong, probably stronger than most men’s. He’d fought and bled for his country. Now he wondered what the General was fighting for. Dead men? Ghosts? Shadows? Was he fighting for himself? Or was he striving for something bigger?Was he fighting for an idea?The idea of ‘America’? ...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 fifteen – “Clues”…The old man stood in the shadow of the cabin doorway watching the summer rain drip-drip-drip from the overhanging pine boughs. A dark, wet cloud sat over the island, pregnant with moisture. It seemed to grasp and squeeze everything, as if the whole lake was locked tightly in a grey tomb. The water of the lake beaded up in a thousand ripples as the rain fell. There was no wind. The air hung heavy with the wet smell of moss and decomposing pine needles. It felt oppressive. He squinted at the sky. Its darkness echoing his own thoughts. ...Links -> 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 fourteen – “Island”…The Old Man and Bill the dog trailed Stevey down a pine needle carpeted path. There were handmade wooden signs with yellow inlaid arrows and labels nailed to trees at trail intersections. There were names like “Tuckaleechee Path; and Sequatchie climb. Some called out local features, like Dinosaur Rock, or Little Falls. “What is this place?” The Old Man asked Stevey. ...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 thirteen – “Tracks”…They hiked up a twisting two lane back road with no shoulders. They were a half-day walk south of the campus now. The narrow road scaled a bluff on the west side of the river. Tangled vegetation leaned in on the uphill side. The land dropped away precipitously on the downhill side behind a rusted metal traffic barrier. It felt constricting and dangerous. Before the apocalypse, traffic alone would have made this a dangerous place for pedestrians. If a vehicle came, the only escape was to dive into the harsh landscape on either side. There was no place to hide....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 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.
