The story is of definite commercial quality in my humble opinion. You may wish to add a (c) to it chapter by chapter to protect yourself.
As to your SO, may she be through the ordeal before she knows it and have a speedy full recovery.
As to your job search, are you familiar with the parable of "Acres of Diamonds"? You may be wasting your time working for somebody else when you can write like this.
Best of luck to you and yours.

Prayers and best wishes to your wife and you.
You aren't kidding! My friend just had an emergency appendectomy, he doesn't have insurance. I think the bill came to around $14,000, which he has to pay in full
.
Insurance is a wonderful thing. I receive a $3,000 medical treatment every 8 weeks with no end in sight and I pay about $15 each time
Hope she gets better soon!

Best of Luck with the upcoming surgery. This will definately be an opportunity for you to shine and solidify your relationship. In other words, there could be a blessing from this you may not see for some time.
Merry Christmas Mord!

Best of health to you and yours in the upcoming surgery, and in the coming New Year! Gall bladder and appendix surgery are fairly routine procedures.
You should talk to a few people who have been published and ask their advice. I think this has potential.

As I said, it is an experiment. I'm not gonna copyright it bc well, I want you, if you like it to print it up and distribute it without me making money. I have an idea for an actual "serious" novel. A "Blue Dawn" as it were sort of thing.
I also have considered a dystopia about a world where "Eurabia" is a power. Written from various perspectives.
I also have considered an "action" novel in as much that it is basically The Odyssey set in the Western states and Mexico.
Probably do that "Blue Dawn" novel first.
Thanks all about the prayers and whatnot. I know this is a minor procedure as surgeries go. I'm actually trying to go to school to get into the medical profession, and have already knocked a few prerequisites out.
And, I definetely hope that this is my "gold mine." After all, it's write for a living. Become an RN, win the lottery, or hope I pick up something real sweet in an Overstock auction!

Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Revelations
Gary and Renee Lincoln were pulled over to the side of the road reading through the files provided by Carl Heinrich's brother. Project Lazarus. Gary had read about half the file already, and it had said that GrumTech, a leading pharmaceuticals research company had been working on a way to reanimate dead tissue in order to save victims from amputations. And that, as most research of that nature, it had been failing incredibly. Until the government sent in several specialists from Johns Hopkins, and MIT to work on the project. The point all along had been to reanimate tissue that had died only minutes before using a biological DNA based answer.
Lots of the file, Gary had understood, but plenty of it went over his head, even in the summary Heinrich had gotten his hands on. But, Carl Heinrich had been a Doctor before entering Congress. Perhaps he'd understood more of it. According to what Renee and himself had pieced together, an DNA sequence had been injected into dead human tissues, and it had somehow successfully reanimated dead tissue. "Brought the dead back to life." They apparently had gotten to use whole bodies. But when they tried to reanimate a human corpse, the sequence had not worked as planned. Although it could bring a liver, or a piece of skin back, it couldn't reanimate nervous tissue the way it could reanimate other kinds. And, even when it brought back the necrotic, dead tissues, eventually that tissue died again.
Things had gotten strange somewhere aroudn the time they began to splice cancer DNA into the mix in order to stimulate growth of tissues. Somehow, some way the best and brightest there at GrumTech had stumbled upon creating a plague. The DNA of the retrovirus mutated so that a human could be fully reanimated, but as a katatonic. The neural pathways that made a person human didn't come back. But the retrovirus was altered a little more by the researchers until they designed a virus which could reanimate "zombies." They tried to advance the science but were unable to, when the CEO of GrumTech, Spence Miller found out about this project that was sapping away larger ammounts of corporate resources.
But instead of shutting the project down, he called the DOD, and said there was something they might be interested in. Five more years of research, and the Lazarus Project produced the "Lazarus Virus." It made a perfect weapon.
The two of them looked at each other for about two minutes after trading pages, and figuring out this was a government project run through a defense contractor.
As they looked at each other, Renee broke the silence. "We have to search for it. See if he has proof of what I gotta know."
Gary looked at her knowingly, "Was this on purpose, or was it a huge mistake?"
Yet More Revelations
Stewart Clark got off the helicopter that had brought him to a place in the middle of nowhere in the Arizona desert, along the New Mexico border. He even had a suit on. He wanted to look sharp if he was going to see both the Governors of Arizona and New Mexico. He had a laptop with him, and nothing else, other than a Beretta 92F under the coat. While he didn't think there would be a zombie attack here, especially with the National Guard setting up a perimeter around the political bigwigs, he still felt the need for the protection. After what had happened he thought he might never go anywhere in the world unarmed again.
He walked to a tent there in the sand, and saw the middle aged Gorvernors. Governor Hamm of Arizona, and Governor Ortiz of New Mexico. The two men both had on cargo pants, and while Hamm had on a gray pullover sweater, Ortiz wore a t-shirt. Clark began to snicker, seeing that formality was a second on the list to functionality. He smiled and shook hands before getting seated.
"Well, Mr. Clark, we've been told you have something for us."
"Yes. I do. It is concerning the disease."
"Well, we're waitin' on you." said the Arizona Governor, chuckling, despite the situation.
"Yes. Um, because of the nature of what was discovered, I was told it was best to meet you directly."
"Yes," said Ortiz, with a far more grave look on his face.
"Well, let me boot my laptop up here," said Clark, turning on his machine. "Um, I can show you the uhhh,,, well what happened on the computer, but, why I wanted to tell you directly, um. This was called Brazillian rabies because the first instances of the disease showing were there. But, the US government put it in Brazil"

Thank you Mordechai, especially now that I know what you're going through in your personal life. I (we) really appreciate your taking the time to write (feed our zombie fixation).
You know, for some reason I can't get the death of the Julia Garman out my mind. Must be holiday melancholies...

I was gonna ask if you I could print it up and let a few friends read it. I guess this means you don't mind at all? Good story, I guess this is what it's like to be addicted to crack.
You know what'd be kind of cool? If there was an editor or something that was a member here and made a "Short Stories of THR" book.

I believe mordechaianiliewicz has been captured by Hillary for spoiling her plans for her first 100 days in office. By now, he probably has a chip implanted in his brain. We should all move on, as there is nothing to see here. I fear further comment because they may come after you or me next.

Incredible posts.
I hope that everything has gone well for you and your family/so. Best wishes with the op and recovery. God bless her. No matter how straightforward the condition/procedure is, times can get tough. Please take the continued requests for more content in the spirit that they are meant, specifically that you have a special talent for entertaining, (capturing our attention.) Your work is SUPERB, easily worthy of contacting a publisher. Don't sweat the small stuff like punctuation and spelling, that is what editors get paid to do.
Make no mistake about it, your content has an audience even outside the gun community. If you convert a few unbelievers in the process, so much the better, and kudos to you for advancing RKBA.
When your situation allows, contact a publisher, then (please!,) post more.
FAMILY FIRST!!!!!!(often said, seldom meant, always true!!!!)
Thank you for the good story.
