Well, according to Jan,
we went through some type of time warp and now we’re like centuries in the
future, but the whole world has changed, and not for the better. I keep telling her we’re just dreaming, but
she doesn’t believe me. And to be
honest, after what I’ve seen, I think I have to agree.
·
We ended up in the
future, after a nuclear event, and we meet what’s left of the surviving human
race. They are a very primitive people
and from what we can see, the land is just an endless desert of cinnamon
sand. Oh, and the mammals and reptiles
have mutated into things that look like cat-lizards. Some are very dangerous.
·
Anyway, we ended up at
an Outer Camp that’s ruled by the Ganu Camp.
They totally control all the smaller camps and come in and claim their
areas whenever an Outer Camp finds water and foodstuffs. You don’t want to know what they eat. YUCK! It’s
a severe hardship on these poor people.
But I keep wondering, how are Jan and I going to get back home to
Manhattan, Kansas? We don’t even know
how we got here.

No. I hope to have it ready for publication by June 2015 if not sooner.
Thank so much, Julie. :)
