    It should have been longer... But with my spare time so scarce after nearly a year it still wasn't finished - so basically I just threw stuff into the missing areas to finish it up. Hence, some sections are very rushed.

    It started almost as a script and flipped over to a regular story - I think some of the areas still show this as it almost reads like a script in setting the scene.


    There's a sequel in my head (with some of Giles' group not appreciating Jason's actions ), but it's likely to stay there given me having even less free time now
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Perhaps those 'rushed' parts are what made the story even better then other good zombie stories, and the open ending was IMHO awesome, and it doesn't need a sequel, not that i wouldn't like to read another zombie story from you but with Midas Touch being so good and the baeutiful open ending which makes u wonder it would 'hurt' the vast greatness of this story ! Ofcourse this is just my opinion.

    Tank is one of my favorites.


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
    - 23rd Sacred Scroll, 6th verse
