ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part III
Star awoke in complete darkness. Opening her eyes was exactly the same as keeping them closed. She felt the embers of a still warm fire nearby, but no light came from them. Star realized that when they had eaten jar after jar of the shelved supplies total fatigue had come over all of them.

Really enjoying this series Jim! Fun,exciting read! I can tell the writing of 30 days is understandably becoming more difficult. Harder to read as well! This story seems like a lighter escape,at least so far!
Thank you, Jack.
Your support has always been much appreciated.
Onward!

I made a comment but wasn’t sure you hadn’t already read something similar from me on prior installments of this story! Instead, I just tried to share as much of the wonderful explanations and backround you’d made in your personal replies to comments regarding this story, up to now. Then I posted everything I’ve been able to glean from having read the two prior parts, as well as this great part III of your new story! I then shared it with all my friends. They all know I use waaaaay too many words to say something simple, yet you know I tend to gush! I invite you to catch that post on my page if you haven’t already seen it. Not because I’m worried for having misrepresented my feelings about your story, yet only because I sure wouldn’t want to misrepresent your fine work in any way, shape or form for not having the slightest idea where it may actually lead! BTW Jim, Great Work! Semper Fi
Your comments are always welcomed, Dennis.
Keep it up and I really appreciate your sharing.

Everything you write is excellent and you already know what I think but just in case you have forgotten; you have a God given gift for writing, God has shown you miracles, He has blessed you with His love for you, He has remained faithful to you and He has brought you through so many painful adversities. That’s just a whole lot to be thankful for.
Love and prayers always,
Nancy
Thank you, Nancy.
I have been seeing your writing on Facebook!
Way different than yours, Mister. Lol! I have a lot to learn.
Do you plan to eventually publish?
What you have been reading on facebook are stories I have shared and some actually written first on facebook now placed in different chapters in the book. There are many that have never been shared. I wrote the stories then the book inserting the stories in the chapters. One chapter is entirely devoted to just the letters Frank wrote to me from Vietnam separated only by my memories of what I had written to him.
All of this was typed on an old electric typewriter. I have downloaded Microsoft word to my computer and have begun typing the book into onedrive of word which is all a learning process for me but enjoying learning. Eventually it will be published. God willing and the creek doesn’t rise too high! Lol.
Keep up the good work. You do have a story to share!
Thank you again for your unflagging support.
Jim
Great writing. I just wish I had the self control to wait until you finish each of your books before I start reading them. Its torture waiting for each next instalment.
It is not my intention to ‘Torture’ anyone, Bob.
When finally making the decision to publish “Thirty Days” I did not realize the
demons that might appear.
This story is a diversion for a short time.
Thanks for your support.

How do you always manage to leave us hanging?
I think it is the author’s perverse sense of humor! ~~smile.
Not really.
I enjoy these because they take me back to the Saturday Radio serials in the 1940’s
A great read Jim. Thank you!
Appreciate your input, Sue
You have a way with words sir. Gifted I believe is the word.
