Keep it up and this might turn into a book or a television series on Netflix. The next Peaky Blinders or Ozarks perhaps, two of my favorites along with The Last Kingdom. That's about the extent of my TV exposure other than some news, a little HGTV, Ancient Aliens and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Gotta love some of those food places he goes to!!!!!!!
I usually do not read stuff like this, but this was well done and caused me to think far more than I had expected. Thanks for writing this. Map is interesting, too.
As someone who recently fled the dark blue state of Washington and is now in a free state… I find this plot terribly compelling from both of the characters’ perspectives
Real good work. Keep at it. When #3 is up, we probably ought to get you together with another Good Citizen and start working on hardcopy.
Never forget the power of the written word to move and change people. You've got something here that's on track to be on the shelf with Alas Babylon, The Postman, WarDay, Unintended Consequences, Bracken's books (https://enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/), and (at least the first 3) Terminator movies.
Just remember how little time remains. Hammer down.
Tragically, I somehow ended up in filthy Louisiana (being born outside of the US) and can attest that, as your call it, the "free state" pushes around and rapes and oppresses with its corrupt criminal machine (atrociously corrupt government, courts, "justice" system, and just about anything and anyone else) in the mind-blowing way. Corruption and oppression are impenetrable.
Then, I escaped to Oregon. It is also corrupt and in my situation the filthy Louisiana criminals have been using the corrupt Oregon actors to assist them in crimes. They work in tandem, and it is foolish to divide them as "red" and "blue."
Apparently, the piece insinuates that so-called "free states" give or will provide in the future more freedom. I think it is a dangerous position or expectation. Just a thought that so-called "red states" to which some attribute the heightened level of personal freedoms could be worse than anything else on the map.
Secession was tried once and it didn't work because of the technological advantage (blue soldiers were able to fire two shots from cartridges, while grey soldiers fired one from their muzzleloaders) and the nearly unlimited power supply from the same group of people that are taking over the world now. That's when America was captured; 1913 and 2020 only completed the plot.
However, only an independent currency can save the people for the tyranny of those, who are using the people's own money to enslave the population.
The enforcers/informants/profiteers realize that they will be next in line to the slaughterhouse, the monsters might run out of servants and without them, they are nothing.
It seems more plausible to me that the blue states would be the ones who would be looking to liberate those in the red ones. I just don't see those in red states going around telling people they need to be freed from whatever they're into. I also don't see why all the high fructose corn syrup covered hog fat confections would necessarily end up in red states especially when they're so cheap to produce.
Loving this story! Love Jacob's country boy accent and am already thinking of scenarios where Olivia and Francine are dodging drones, talking their way out of situations as they make their way to a free state. Brilliant.
This is a fantasy of the future that will not come true. Yes, America will break apart, as will many countries in the West. The Great Reset resulted in a world war, famine, dramatic population reduction, and medical tyranny, and yet, in the end they failed. Why you might ask? A very good question. The Great Reset failed because around the year 2030, the mini ice age was in full swing, and the magnetic reversal is on deck. The volcanoes erupted worldwide and the earth shook. The Age of Kali was no more, and with the return of the Light the survivors rejoiced.

As we read more, and watch less, these installments are enjoyable. Looking forward to the completed book, hoping for a positive ending.

No Texan speaks like that. Sounds like a Donner party letter from 19th century.
Amen. Let it be so.

Has to be a book!
Profound! That's the only adjective I can think of that even comes close.
Well done GC. I was surprised how engaging the story is. 😄👍🏼 I feel like this could be a good book.

some bit stimulating, i might say, even erotically, looking back at a similar period personally.
