Wandering Soul
Summary:
The world as we know it came to an end in June, year 1290 when the nuclear war broke out. People claimed that the Cold War had come to an end in the late 1900s when Mikhail Gorbachev came into power and the U.S.S.R. fell drastically from its high position. It turns out people were wrong.
For years instead, it had been brewing malignantly beneath the roofs of the two sides’ heads. It was on the whim of two said to be extraordinary men under normal circumstances that it happened. Yet it was not under normal circumstances when the first bomb was released so suddenly, upsetting before killing the most optimistic of a people there ever was in a hundred years. But after so many great years, it was only fair that the world took such a rough turn.
Nobody, however, accounted for the world’s end on their agendas. Nobody was prepared. I, barely settling in my first year at college, certainly was not prepared.

Sorry.. Bahaha, but I keep forgetting things I wanted to say!
I just have to ask, are you a male or female? The whole story I couldn't figure it out... And I just really was curious, since the main character is a girl, I thought you were. But, of course, I've written stories with guy main characters and I'm a girl, sooo....
Sorry for like the paragraph asking one question(:
PS I love the title to the book, very nice(:
And I forgot to mention that I found it a bit weird that TWO of the main character's had dead fathers... And then another one had a brother die. It's seems like a lot of death that just is coincidental in this small group of friends, especially two having the same close family member die. I don't know if it's just me, but I found that a bit, weird.
I have to be honest, I did NOT want to read a novel when you first commented on my thing. But then I started to read, and really fell in love with the character's and what was going on. As the others said, the beginning is a bit rushed, but you got a handle on that by the last chapter that is posted. I really am eager to read more.
I loved what Rose said to them when she was in her out of body experience, how she would respond to their questions and talk to them even though they couldn't hear her. I don't know why I liked it so much, but I really did enjoy every second of those parts.
I got a bit bored in the short back story of the president/leader and them coming to power. It might just be because I hate history and anything that has to do with.
I also really love your character development, I can really tell what kind of person everyone is inside and out. Like David, you say he's such a gentleman and stuff, but I see something almost dark behind all that, with his snide comments, that may seem kind, and such. I also think there may be an unwanted love connection... But hey, that's just me(:
I really love it and CANNOT wait for the new chapter to be posted! Thanks for getting me to read it, it's a very creative story and really well done.
