Amazing story..

I love the way you write, you make it all look so easy

But its the little things, like your attention to detail that stands out for me.



They were sitting in the stadium listening to a distant drum roll that reverberated around the massive complex. Laser lights shone from high above and scattered across the platform where the Preacher would address the huge crowds. Smoke machines provided a blanket of fog over the stage that poured from its edge and rolled into the crowd.



Stuff like this... it puts you right there in the story.. fantastic.

Have a flag mate.

Well done.

JQ.

Thanks John Q! I'm glad you liked it. I had to really put the Afghan Preacher's appearance out there for everyone in the stadium to be wowed. I'm glad it came through.

applause, applause, applause, awesome. Jack! What a stud. I'm sure you'll
understand if I refrain from the more judgemental annotations. Um
me to I'm wowed. Yes, wowed for me also. Excellent. I must say
I knew what was up, when she handed him the note book, and then
headed for the exit. Knowing that served only to draw me in suddenly I was a member of security just in front of the stage watching helplessly.
Brian was still to far back in the crowd to be reached. very cool.

Awesome.

I really enjoyed the relationships...the friend that got edged out...this has so much in it. Excellent detail and easy to read and follow. a hint of darkness when the preacher arrives on scene. The hot chick being the instrument of his doom. The timeliness of the language..the dialog was current and lent a lot to the credibility of the story. An excellent read. I was worried because it seemed so long just looking at it, but there wasn't a boatload of extraneous filler. I really enjoyed this one, man.

Pertinent, current. very interesting how our friend loses himself entirely. At a point he just sort of dissolves into the background of the story, even though it's his actions that play such a pivotal role in shaping the world. A life turned into a mindless tool. It was excellent, man.

Thanks so much randyvs! I am glad you liked it. I was hoping that the whole brainwashed thing was evident. I believe you are the second person that said they knew it right away. Thanks again.

another awesome thing about your story that I really, really liked was how the preacher, who I thought for sure was the antichrist, was crippled and silenced, but a more eloquent speaker took his place, while still using his influence to draw the crowds or what have you. Excellent.

Thanks KSPigpen! Just some of the more bizarre musings in my head I guess. The whole premise was to try to correlate the end time prophecies into a story. I don't know, I'm twisted like that.

Thanks cindymars! I am glad you weighed in on this because I have been reading your stuff from the Space Opera and I gotta say, you are very talented. Your opinion means a lot to me.

You're right though. He would have had a better time at the goofy beer party with his friends. That makes me laugh. He was sucked in by a very good agent that re aligned his priorities for him. Poor guy never knew what hit him! HAHA

S & F! You have a true gift! Excellent writing style, sort of reminds me of Clive Cussler at his best. This short story is just a taste of what's to come, I'm sure. Consider me a fan,

It's obvious that your story has been thought out over some time. The evidence of that is in its intricate structure and connection to both biblical texts and the sinister programs of mind control.

To say it's well-written would be mean-spirited. It's excellent.

The twist in the plot pure genius.
