Description

She couldn’t tell how long she had sat there on the hard and damp ground, on the edge of Jack Rodgers’ grave. Talking to him, in that casual way they used to talk to each other in the evenings, assessing what the day had brought them, looking forward to the next one.

But his voice was getting weaker, and after a moment she couldn’t hear but a whisper, which could well have been the wind in the branches of the nearby oaktree. The hand she’d be holding on to in her mind got colder and colder, as the man who’d saved nine-year-old little Hailee from certain death five years before, that same man who’d given her the tools and the skills she would need to survive and the fighting spirit that would be her motive to go on, that wonderful man took his final leave and bowed to his heart-broken crowd of one….

She got up and grabbed the gun. She walked a few steps and turned her tight-lipped little face to the grave one last time. All the sorrow in the world glistened in the little tear that would be her ultimate thank you note to Jack Rodgers…

 ‘Walk north to freedom’. His last words. Her motto now.

The story in combination with the picture is a very powerfull combo. It sets for the next scene. A final look, one last goodbye and on ....

On page 11 I saw in the background a landscape of green trees and fields and took some hope from that. Not much sign of that here, but still some hope that Jack gave her good advice. You have definitely got me hooked.

Do not worry the trees and the fields are just up ahead , she has to clear what remains of the small town first,and this is just a different angle 

Thank You so much for your continued support  Happy new Year to you my friend stay safe

Will the wind that greats her stay gentle, and guide her path, or is young Hailee walking in to the eye of the storm  

Thank You my Dear   Stay happy and Safe this New Years Eve

In a perfect world, Jack would have wanted to find a new mentor for Hailee to ensure her safety and comfort, yet one cannot beat time and My World is far from perfect. Hope remains that tools, skills, spirit, and direction he gave her are the right ones.

Thank you my friend for your continued support  
After the Apocalypse,people would have banded together in small packs to survive, all the experts that I have read agree on that, I just got so up about what is going to happen with Hailee in chapter 2, that I totally neglected that.
All part of being a amateur I guess,  but this is an issue that will need explained in up coming chapters, I need to start seeing the whole picture and thinking this out better, and having a friend like you that will call this out is exactly what I need to get better  THANK YOU 

Destiny is different,that one I thought out better, she is alone in that inner city, knows no one, and can't get out because of the blockades, remember the east side prison that Anderson had made out of the East part of Seattle.
I also have the seceniro that caused the apocalypse, but I am going to take your suggestion and feed it to the viewers slowly

There is a misunderstanding here. My comment was more an association, same as some of my previous comments. Jack may have wanted to find somebody else to take care of Hailee, but what happened already did, and there is nothing that anybody can do about it. I was not suggesting that something is to be corrected in the story, in the way that you have decided to describe the events, or develop the characters. I will respond to your note as well.
