Interesting book

[mikeo80]

I just finished reading "The Island" by Michael Stark. It starts out as any good TEOTWAWKI book should with the start of a contagion.

This "bug" starts in Mexico. Then some one who was in the area gets on a plane in Mexico City, and travel with several transfers. One guess.....

Pandemic.

The "Hero" of the book decides that he is going to take his fathers boat, travel to one of the NC Outer Banks islands, fish, drink and otherwise wait for death....

So far so good.

About a half of the way in, our "Hero" starts hearing news reports of "monsters".

At this point the book wanders off eventually into demons and other strange and exotic creatures.

My point in all of this babbling.....

IF you heard of a pandemic. Maybe you have the bug. Maybe not. No way to know until the incubation period.

Would you run?
Would you stay?
Would you go somewhere "nice" to wait?

I am examining my own soul. Right now, I lean towards staying but there would be a definite run on the household booze cabinet. If I am going out...I WILL be a drunk skunk....

I am interested in reading your thoughts.

My $0.02
