I had an experience that has deterred me from ever returning to that Pa state park.

ELECTRIC WITCH The stormy night cracking sways the wind sideway across the skies, the rain drenches her pale white skin as her wickedness freezes it to ice and hail as falling gravel the size of stones. Her eyes a glow send white beams of lightning scanning her surround for those that cower and oppose. Runes in hand and adorning her neck brill her skintight while she reaches with the devils horns. Her long fingers stiff, stretch to the wind above her head lost in the locks of blackened ends of flaming blue silver strands of silken hair she chants her spell. Binding all that fear her call and the ice of her skin. Her toll comes from the green sea of lake as she rises call to demons to strike, strike with their CRACKLES of electricity, their thunders of DOOM…blind them with the thick of FOG let down their fire of white flame and burn the wretched that do not fear her claims.

After the ApocalypseA Pandemic Survival StorySeason 3, Episode 20 – “Legacy”...“Move them out of that goddam trap!” The King shouted angrily at Harlan. “Up the left! Get around that strong point!” His men had run straight into an ambush on their first approach. Instead of the ‘cake walk’ they had assumed. The King was angry. This fight wasn’t going to be the pushover he had expected. He still had the guns and the numbers but didn’t like the feeling that he was being made a fool of. Not outfought but outthought. ...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.comEmail List -> https://acast.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a02fed2a783fcc887760255a9&id=e15419e7be Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA Pandemic Survival StorySeason 3, Episode 19 – “Clash”...Michael had trouble hiding his surprise and fear when the pickets radioed in that a convoy of vehicles was moving in their direction. He thought they were about to get caught with their pants down. What had gone wrong? There were lookouts by the river crossings just for this reason, but this approaching force appeared from nowhere. Was this an example of the ‘fog of war’ creating surprise and chaos, and nullifying their hasty, but well-made plans?...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.comEmail List -> https://acast.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a02fed2a783fcc887760255a9&id=e15419e7be Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA Pandemic Survival StorySeason 3, Episode 18 – “Rally”…For a big dog, Bill could move very fast when he wanted to. And, right now, he really wanted to. Paul was the first to see the furry apparition appear from around the corner of a building, ears pinned back, tongue lolling, and making a beeline for the two men on the path. Paul simultaneously prepared to run and looked around for a stick or rock to fight with. But the big…dog?...it looked like a dog but could be a wolf?...nothing would surprise Paul in this wasted world…Whatever it was, it had no interest in Paul. Instead, without hesitation, it launched itself at the old man. ...LinksWebsite -> 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.comEmail List -> https://acast.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a02fed2a783fcc887760255a9&id=e15419e7be Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA Pandemic Survival StorySeason 3, Episode 17 – “Grind”...Mags stood on the porch of a two-story house on a small rise. It wasn’t her house, but it was somehow familiar. The air was heavy with moisture. The atmosphere had the oppressive weight it gets just before a storm. As if a ripe fruit is about to burst. A smooth, blue-green lawn sloped away to the tree line. There was a white, lank fence around the periphery which reminded her of horse farms in Kentucky.The leaves in the trees rustled with a leavening wind. Black and violent clouds rapidly approached. ...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.comEmail List -> https://acast.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a02fed2a783fcc887760255a9&id=e15419e7be Hosted on Acast.
