I read this during psychology class on my Braille computer (computer for blind people), and I started to cry just a little bit. I’m not ashamed of that, although the people around me thought I was insane. It was such a good ending, so emotional. I’m getting all choked up again. Still in psychology class as I write this, I must resist the urge to feel sadness! Great story.
PS: An alternate ending with a show-tune theme and dancing droolers would be nice.

Another great story Dave.
No comment after the story? Or epilogue page? Why so quiet over there?

I posted one other time about the story becoming unbeleivable, and got lambasted by another poster. I believe what I was looking for was things got too “convenient.” It was too perfect. Things fell into place all too easily for the characters. I too, thought things fell apart after the lear jet incident. I wish the cornstarch dummies angle would have gotten played out. It felt WAY too rushed at the end. Excellent beginning, sorry finish.

On a second thought, i agree that an epilogue would be nice here.
In the whole story, i just missed a detailed description of the behavior of the drollers.. the whole time i didnt know what to expect from them.
But i still see Plague Zone at the same level as MI, 13b and the others.

I have to agree with the minority. I did not find this story as good as MI, MN, MP, 13B. I felt that much of the time I was hovering in one place in the story without a lot of forward motion. There is nothing wrong with an ambiguous ending. They are frustrating, sure. But they can make one think. I do feel, however, that the ending seemed way to neat, coincidental and convenient…and definitely sudden. Many scenes in the story were played out over the course of many chapters, right up to the sudden final chapter. The writing style is easy to follow and does support quick reading, as always. But, overall, this one didn’t do it for me.

Why didn’t Tim comment on all of the feces in the family’s car…his son had to use the bathroom too. I definitely hope there is a sequel to find out what happened to Tony and the rest. It did feel unfinished, but still satisfying. What am I going to read now?

Nice job. I enjoyed it, left me wanting much, much more. PLease revisit this one again. Maybe other parts of the country, maybe 2 years later, anything to see what happens…
thanks
