After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason two, Episode Twenty, “Overwatch”

A pair of sparrows made indignant noises in the tree overhead and a grey squirrel chittered from a low branch as Mags settled into a prone position on the hill overlooking the DC. 

She leveled the rifle and squinted through the scope. According to her calculation, it was less than two hundred yards from her position, across the slope, the road, and then across the parking lot. 

She spun the ocular and a lean, rat-faced, man came into focus. 

He was reclined against a cement pillar smoking. 

“You look pretty relaxed for a man in your situation…,” she thought to herself as she turned the elevation knob on the scope.

Outro s2 e20

Welcome back my survivor friends.

This is your host Maddog comin’ at you from the pollen-soaked hills of early summer in in New England. 

The Pollen Apocalypse – good name for a flower-power punk band.

This, my friends, has been episode 20, the final episode of season 2. 

I know, we have some loose ends in the narrative, but not too many. 

I’ve always operated under the assumption that you folks are smart enough to live with a certain amount of uncertainty. – And as I’ll talk about below, that uncertainty actually has a payoff.  

It is designed in. It’s a feature, not a flaw.
