Your character sounds like me... I don't mind expired food as long as is not rotten is till good right? "Liz was famous for eating things expired. Her friends always asked, "How old is this?" Or "When did you buy this?"
"

    Thank you for your amusing review. I'm a dowser. I have programmed myself to ask "Is this food still good?" Good means I don't get sick, no intestinal difficulty, I don't need to have my stomach pumped, & *I don't die. It works everytime. I've been upset with some of the things I've had to throw out. But I'm alive to tell the story. You may an inner dowser. You just know.

This was an interesting read and a well written chapter. I only wish the chapters were numbered so that the reader could know about how far they are into the book as they are reviewing. It would help with understanding the content. Good job on this though.

    Thank you for your involved review. I agree with the chapter issue. I haven't figured how to include it. There are some chapter #'s at the top of the page. You are welcome to go to my profile and read the previous chapters without reviewing. I've gone to some people's profile and just read their book to catch up. So just enjoy the previous chapters. No review is necessary.

Liz,

A really curious addition to your story. I imagine the next part will be highly intriguing!

Notes:
1.) Liz flipped the lock lever so Linda could open the back door.
--> open/unzip the back pocket?

2.) Doesn't it? It even tickles a little bit(,)" gurgled Liz.

3.) "Black puddles of water(,)" Linda added.

4.) "(no space) Specters ghosting up into the wavy opaqueness(,)" Liz exchanged.

5.) Her moccasins, also made of rawhide, (bore) two black crows painted on each,

Thanks!

    Thank you for your helpful review. I appreciate. I especially like the unzipping action. I'm trying to make sure I include the actions as if I were doing them, so this was good.

well, like all very good writers, you leave your audience in suspense.
I thought, somehow the water wasn't really water, or at least ordinary water, and it was affecting them, but now, who knows.
Good story telling and dialogue, which is natural, not stilted. I like their sense of humor, too. Good job.

    Thank you for your enthusiastic review. It's fun to hear your expression of perception about this. One of the other reviewers spoke of the Twilight Zone feeling. I will say, you will hear the theme within the next couple of chapters...lol If you are interested in reading the previous chapters, feel free. There is no need to do reviews. Just enjoy.

Interesting story that expresses your interest in the native American culture. Just wondering if that's your culture or you're interested because you live near there. Thanks for sharing your creativity in this story.

    Thank you for your involoved review. I have Native American in my heritage. My great great grandmother was Cree. Also I am very gifted to live in an area of Vermont that has wonderful stonewalls and some cairns, burial grounds across from my property. I will allude to some of my personal exeriences in my story. I have had nearly a solid diet of historical fiction in the books by Kathleen ONeal Gear and Michael Gear. Theyhave given my fodder for my next few chapters. If you haven't read all of the previous chapterts, feel free. There is no need for a review. Just enjoy it.

This is great. Your book is enjoyable. I though this chapter was especially well written. Great use of dialogue. Your characters are coming to life. This was paced well. Terrific job.

There's somebody in there? Aaack!! Wow - this was not what I was expecting for this next chapter, but you've definitely got my mind in questioning mode... I'm wondering if they're dehydrated or something... ;) Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

What a mesmerizing story. I was caught from the first paragraph to the very last. I, too, wonder what is in the basket. You have a wonderful style of writing. Well done!

    Thank you for your enthusiastic review. Some have likened the genre to Twilight Zone. I've been telling readers, you will hear Rod Serling or the theme song in at least the next couple of chapters.

I do hope this lady can help get them out of this odd realm they've seem to have found themselves in everything turning a gray. Something like that actually happened to me once in Colorado. I went into the store and everything was fine, came out and everything was a gray haze. My imagination went into overdrive and the theme from the twilight zone started playing in my head. I threw the groceries in the car and sped home.
