The intersection between Carpenter Silt Verses and Sig Dead Water is ASTRONOMICAL. Please tell me someone else has heard and read both. Lonely on purpose women with injured legs and younger people they care about deeply but also just as deeply hope for them to maintain their innocence despite that innocence being ripped away from them? So maintain their distance in order to avoid a cycle repeating? Ready to take on the world alone because they care so desperately for other people they can’t stand to be around them? Blaming themselves for losses of loved ones? Against insurmountable odds with people they wouldn’t have spared a second glance? Forced to reckon with the divine that has taken notice of them? PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

Actually you know what, the dashboard is now the hypothetical kidnapper who wont kill me if i can speak on a topic for thirty minutes so now y’all are getting a book word vomit!

Dead Water by C.A. Fletcher

What it’s about:

A ‘slow burn’ tale of isolation and horror. A small island community loses all contact with the outside world, and all methods of escape as an ancient curse infects the inhabitants with ‘the walking water’.

What I Liked:

The very creative ‘zombies’, and some of the vivid, amazing imagery. I also particularly liked how this curse was basically spread with a horrible kiss. There’s a lot of disabled rep in this book as well! I’m under the impression it’s pretty good rep but not being disabled I’m not qualified to say for certain. I also was emotionally invested in “one” of the protagonists that the ending made me cry in a good way.

I also like the cover! Those of you know know me and clicked that link will clock that i did very much pick this up and look at the summary because of the Hare on the cover.

Why it didn’t work for me:

Dead water utilizes a similar ‘trope’ or ‘mechanic’ that Stephen King does in some of his books -- Loads and Loads of Characters. It took me a little while to figure out why this really, really did not work with this book. In a King novel (Needful Things, or Under the Dome, for example) every character does something, shows something, or has something interesting happen to them.

In this novel we get the perspective of a really good chunk of the island populace left behind when the ferry leaves. And absolutely none of it is necessary. Not only do none of them do anything of interest, but at least one person we spend multiple chapters with leaves entirely early in the book and never comes back!

The ex of said character, a man who broke parole to come to the island is implied to be in it for revenge, or something unpleasant -- does absolutely nothing other than inflict an accidental injury that is glossed over. I really thought he was going to be infected by the curse, or possibly be a human element of evil in the book but -- he does literally nothing other exist in the story.

Of the survivors, two of them could have been swapped out with any two other characters we got the perspective of and absolutely nothing would have changed.

Related to this -- we’re following a sort of ‘chain’ of infections throughout the day, before things get bad for the island. But that chain abruptly vanishes, and suddenly most of the people on the island have been cursed/infected with no rhyme or reason as to how or why. Making the ‘chain’ sequence also pointless.

Overall there is a lot of foreshadowing/grim potential introduced in the long, long, long build up with novel has to it’s horror premise blooming and none of it is followed through on, or fleshed out.

Not only does this book take forever to pick up momentum, but once it finally does, the momentum quickly dies. The morning after the curse sends most of the island in the water, most of the survivors have no idea what happened and are still going about a normal day. So little happens! There’s not even really much tension because there’s so much nothing!

Overall, I’d give this a 2 out of 5 -- there’s potential here, but so much of it was wasted. It’s 384 pages long and could have easily been a novella.

It's okay, I said, putting all the soothe I had in me into my voice. It's okay.

A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by C.A. Fletcher (page 176)

[stmichaeldeorleans]

This is the known 1942 story of the St Louis Missouria Mellon Funeral Home and Morgue Penile Acquisition involving De Raymond Joseph Devereaux Fairchild , C.A. Duerksen, and recipient Dean F. Duerksen in New Orleans following the shooting of Dr Brisque and several of his relations. New Orlean's penis acquisition was done in a morgue following a fatal shooting.   It was actually the St. Louis Mellon Funeral Parlor And Morgue.  The dick in question was the previous original  property of one Dr William B. Brisque Devereaux, a thirty something dentist.  They connected the blood vessels etc but not the nerves. They placed a clamp on his veins that Dean could open or close to enlarge or lessen the size. These penile acquisitions appeared to have been temporary solutions due to necrosis and grand jury inquiry stating that he was no longer allowed to use acquired penis unless authorized to do so via courtroom proceedings by a judge which Dean did anyway because Dean is alledged to have been born a girl and named Ellen Jamie Dean Duerksen but is understood to have used Ella Jamie Dean in Las Palamas, CA where he appears to have run with a Melissa Ethridge Gilbert and others. Since James Dean the movie legend is believed to have resided in Las Palamas by 1953 on the former property of the San Quentin Women's Prison (which closed it's doors by 1937 and sold off their buildings to the likes of former prison such as the Stouts, Skits, Hartmans, Ehtridges, C.A. Duerksen, James Edward Olmos and Edward G. Robinson and more) some appear to have considered that Ella Jamie Dean was related to James Dean whom among other 160 actors and actresses whom resided on the former Paul Kantner property in the goodsized barn and were traveling back and forth to Hollywood on six or more buses day by day and this appears to have included Dean as well at times. Other persons that should be listed here included rural cop, James McDugal, James Harrison Ford, a rancher in the area, Priest Charles Osgood, Sister DeMaris, Priest Jim Brown Meryl Streep, Priest Francis Charles Osgoode DeMentos, Bob Hartman, Carol Spacek, Tom and Peter Bogart, Arthur Feldman, Paul Newman, Francis Barrymore, Dean Martin, Dick Howard Jones, Jim Thorpe Jr., Jaquien Cruz Sanchez Monticello Guzman, 1 class Sargeant John Williamson Montecello Guzman, Alma Rollins Fletcher Lewis Harmon, Lt Jerry Avrel Fletcher LAPD, Desk Sargeant LAPD Jay V. Vinson, Los Angeles FBI agents Frederick McMurry, Al Capp, Joan Smead (?), James Ryan O'Neal, Drs Ralph Allan VanDorson, Maria Elizabeth Van Cleeves, Dr Paul Allan VanDorson all of UCLA genetic dept where aDean and C.A. Duerksen are believed to have purchased genetic related equipment, Gemnioles and solutions.

"Un conseil donné aux vétérans par le col. LaFlèche," La Presse. June 19, 1933. Page 8. ---- "Vos demandes ne doivent pas être extravagantes," affirme-t-il. ---- JUSTICE POUR TOUS --- Plus de 200 membres de la Légion canadienne (B. E. S. L.) ont rendu hommage, samedi soir au lieutenant-colonel L-R. La Flèche, D.S.O..chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, sous-ministre de la Défense nationale.et ancien président général de la Legion. Le banquet avait été organisé par le chapitre provincial et était présidé par le lieutenant-colonel François DeMartigny, président provincial. La fête était donne sous lesauspices du brigadier général W-W.-P. Gibsone, C.MG., D.S.O., O.B.E., officier commandant du district militaire No 4. Le banquet eut lieu dans les quartiers du mess des officiers du Régiment de Maisonneuve.

Le sous-ministre a déclaré dans son discours que le gouvernement était prêt à faire sa part pour les vétérans et que ceux-ci auraient justice, mais d'un autre côté, a-t-il dit, il ne faut pas réclamer d'une façon extravagante surtout à une époque critique comme l'époque actuelle. Il n'y a aucun doute dans mon esprit et dans celui de la population, en général, que vous avez des droits acquis à notre reconnaissance et que nous devons respecter ces droits, mais le monde traverse une crise, terrible et les vétérans comme tous et chacun doivent avoir confiance dans l'avente et être patients."

Une petite Société des Nations Le colonel LaPlèche a rappelé que le banquet était une véritable petite "Société des Nations" puisqu'on y remarquait des représentants de la France, des Etats-Unis, de la Belgique, de la Pologne et de l'Italie. Toutes des nations alliées qui sont "prêtes encore à combattre pour la Justice et le droit aujourd'hui comme hier", a dit M. le sous-ministre.

Le colonel Wilfrid Bovey, D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, proposa la santé du sous-ministre en français. Il a déclaré qu'il était nécessaire pour la jeunesse de puiser son inspiration dans l'histoire des "héros du passé", mais, a-t-il dit, nous ne devons pas oublier que les Canadiens se sont aussi conduits comme des héros, lors de la dernière guerre.

L'on ne peut oublier les exploits légendaires du Royal 22e Régiment.

"Nous avons illustré d'une façon tangible à l'univers entier qu'il existe une véritable nation canadienne. Côte à côte, les Canadiens-français et leurs frères de langue anglaise travaillent comme une seule unité dans le meilleur intérêt du Dominion. Ils aiment le Canada et c'est pourquoi il nous faut prendre garde de développer un esprit de séparatisme dont les conséquences pourraient être funestes."

Une motion Le colonel Hercule Lefebvre, M.C., V.D., commandant de la 11e brigade d'infanterie, a proposé la santé du colonel La Flèche, en anglais. "Je proposerai cette santé sous forme de motion, félicitant le gouvernement du choix du colonel LaFlèche comme sous-ministre de la Défense nationale", a proposé le brigadier Lefebvre. Cette motion a été adoptée à l'unanimité.

Le sous-ministre a profité ensuite de l'occasion pour épingler sur la poitrine du camarade Napoléon Marion, insigne des anciens présidents. Le brigadier-général T.-L. Tremblay, C.M.G., D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, ancien commandant du Royal 22e Régiment, a présenté des médailles de Long Service à deux de ses anciens officiers: les majors L.-H. Desjardins, V.D. et Georges-U. Francoeur, V.D., tous deux du Régiment de Maisonneuve maintenant.

Le colonel F.-F. Clarke, D.S.O. ancien président provincial, a aussi remis une coupe au camarade Beatty de la section de Québec, qui s'est classée première dans le concours de recrutement organisé par les diverses succursales de la province.

Des discours ont également été prononcés par le brigadier-général Gilsone, le lieutenant-colonel P.-A. Piuze, président de la succursale Jean-Brillant, V.C., de la Légion canadienne; le capitaine Morgan, M.C.. V.D.: le lieutenant-colonel Charles-Auguste Brosseau, V. D. C. de G.O.C., Régiment de Maisonneuve et le colonel Gaudet, CMC, chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, organisateur du Royal 22e Régiment.

The Writer: Sarah Rachel Egelman

Review of the post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by C.A. Fletcher.

[laurens-little-library]

“Of all the animals that travelled the long road through the ages with us, dogs have always walked closest.”

Animals are something I am deeply passionate about, especially dogs. So if someone stole my dog, you better believe I would do everything in my power, chase them to the ends of the earth, to get her back. In this, at least, I relate to Griz, the main character in A Boy And His Dog At The End Of The World. We follow our main character in their journey to retrieve their stolen dog, but we find so much more than that along the way. The loyalty of a pet, the bond of friendship and joint survival, family, and a world that is so close, yet beyond understanding.

This book is a deep and striking character portrait that says so much more than just the words on the page. It’s a book that I think will haunt me for a long time.

Better a brain than a fist. A brain can hold anything, from giant things, like distant stars and planets, to tiny things we can't see, like germs. A brain can even hold things that aren't and never were, like hobbits. A brain can hold the whole universe, a fist just holds what little it can grab. Or hits what it can't.

A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, C.A. Fletcher

This is the known 1942 story of the St Louis Missouria Mellon Funeral Home and Morgue Penile Acquisition involving De Raymond Joseph Devereaux Fairchild , C.A. Duerksen, and recipient Dean F. Duerksen in New Orleans following the shooting of Dr Brisque and several of his relations. New Orlean's penis acquisition was done in a morgue following a fatal shooting.   It was actually the St. Louis Mellon Funeral Parlor And Morgue.  The dick in question was the previous original  property of one Dr William B. Brisque Devereaux, a thirty something dentist.  They connected the blood vessels etc but not the nerves. They placed a clamp on his veins that Dean could open or close to enlarge or lessen the size. These penile acquisitions appeared to have been temporary solutions due to necrosis and grand jury inquiry stating that he was no longer allowed to use acquired penis unless authorized to do so via courtroom proceedings by a judge which Dean did anyway because Dean is alledged to have been born a girl and named Ellen Jamie Dean Duerksen but is understood to have used Ella Jamie Dean in Las Palamas, CA where he appears to have run with a Melissa Ethridge Gilbert and others. Since James Dean the movie legend is believed to have resided in Las Palamas by 1953 on the former property of the San Quentin Women's Prison (which closed it's doors by 1937 and sold off their buildings to the likes of former prison such as the Stouts, Skits, Hartmans, Ehtridges, C.A. Duerksen, James Edward Olmos and Edward G. Robinson and more) some appear to have considered that Ella Jamie Dean was related to James Dean whom among other 160 actors and actresses whom resided on the former Paul Kantner property in the goodsized barn and were traveling back and forth to Hollywood on six or more buses day by day and this appears to have included Dean as well at times. Other persons that should be listed here included rural cop, James McDugal, James Harrison Ford, a rancher in the area, Priest Charles Osgood, Sister DeMaris, Priest Jim Brown Meryl Streep, Priest Francis Charles Osgoode DeMentos, Bob Hartman, Carol Spacek, Tom and Peter Bogart, Arthur Feldman, Paul Newman, Francis Barrymore, Dean Martin, Dick Howard Jones, Jim Thorpe Jr., Jaquien Cruz Sanchez Monticello Guzman, 1 class Sargeant John Williamson Montecello Guzman, Alma Rollins Fletcher Lewis Harmon, Lt Jerry Avrel Fletcher LAPD, Desk Sargeant LAPD Jay V. Vinson, Los Angeles FBI agents Frederick McMurry, Al Capp, Joan Smead (?), James Ryan O'Neal, Drs Ralph Allan VanDorson, Maria Elizabeth Van Cleeves, Dr Paul Allan VanDorson all of UCLA genetic dept where aDean and C.A.
