      Dedication

      This is a horror story that I felt encouraged to write from a series of influences. I think the most apparent is the Universal Horror classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I’ve always enjoyed the tale of his underwater menace and tried to find a way to update his mythos to a contemporary setting. I felt like placing him to one of the various flood zones that populate America throughout the year was a good jumping off place for whatever hijinks I would come up with. I also have borrowed some influence from Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat – the best of his obscure films if you ask me. I love the feeling of being stuck at sea with strangers and felt like it would give a nice grounding for this story. Beyond that, I hope you enjoy a story that is more full of drama than jump scares, but I hope maintains a sense of some dread. This story is dedicated to those still lost at sea. I hope you find your way home sooner than later.

      BUT DAD NEVER LISTENED TO DANNY BROWN

      What a fantastic creation this book is. A young man who is starting to realize that his earlier years that were spent as a some times troubled some times care youth are over. It is time to make more mature decisions. A great example of today's social urban life styles. I did not want this short story to end. I wanted it to continue to explore this youth's new realizations and life in his new future.

      4/5 stars -  rucrazy

      A very interesting read, well written. It sounds like a teaser for a novel; I would have liked it to continue through life...he gets a job, marries, lives his life, etc. Maybe there is more to come?

      A PLAGIARIZED CHRISTMAS

      Very interested with the beginning of a fresh new story & character. Somehow the author seems to have a dark & troubled side to his work.. I will continue to follow his publications to see if he can pull himself out of a funk..Overall it takes awhile to get into his stories but I do enjoy what I have read so far. - PART ONE

      3/5 stars - rucrazy

      "I thought I was in a different story until Max brought the story together by ragging on his sister. I feel it would have been better published all at once, I read the last chapter
