Huh, well, now you've gone and stumped me. Did he really drown, or are you just setting me up to bring him back in the next chapter. A lot of action to go so peacefully and quick. LOL. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter.

And he was dead, as Larry McMurtry described Newt's death.
Thank you for your continued support.

It's always a pleasure to read and follow along, wherever you mind might take me. :-)

I really enjoyed reading this latest chapter. Your descriptions of Clyde's chaotic journey had me on the edge of my seat! I loved how you captured his internal struggle. Love the intense moments with the troopers. It's a powerful story that easily kept me engaged. I can't wait to see where you take it next! Keep up the fantastic work!

He left his family with debris. Unless he left them letters you did not tell us about. I have worked for days on a suitably horrendous horror story for the contest. Karen

Thank you for your true review.
Yes, Clyde was insensitive to family, totally self-absorbed. Much like many/most wrong-doers.

You ended it as it should him leaving without hurting others. He did change things. Karen
