VERY good story line…but the writing is a little choppy, which will most likely be corrected with experience. Got me interested in the story at the very beginning — great start.

I have just read chapter 2 today – it reminds me of the James Herbert book – the Fog which he wrote in the 60s or 70s – really good book – can get it on a auido book as well..

Glad you like the doors! thanks

I’m sure that if he weren’t excessively tired and if he were thinking straight and if the police weren’t already at the scene he would have told the police everything right then.

By the way – Those doors you sell on your site are awesome. When I get rich, I’m totally putting a wall of those in the back of my house.

For those who are reading these, I’d just like to comment on what SoupfromtheHammer said.

First, there’s no guessing needed. I thought it was in-your-face-plain that terrorists were responsible for starting the outbreak in Oasis.

Second, an ideology? What ideology? That terrorists do bad things? I thought that was pretty much common knowledge, and why we call them “Terror”-ists. Are there Middle Eastern terrorists? Well, that’s a well-established fact. Do I even imply that everybody from the Middle East is a terrorist? Of course not. Do I imply that that everyone with olive skin is a terrorist? No. The hero (Corbin) has olive skin because his mother was from Spain. Now, are there bigots out there that do assume that olive skin=Middle Eastern Terrorist? Yes. As a matter of fact Corbin has problems with some of those type of closed-minded characters, starting in the VERY NEXT CHAPTER.

Let me put it this way: the terrorists in Oasis are a plot device, not a political statement.

However, if this chapter “offended” you, then its probably best you don’t keep reading. You will most likely be incapable of enjoying the story.

Edit – After writing this, I realized I may have overreacted just a little.
