Eminent Plague

About

Eminent Plague
by Don Lowell

After years of staggering from one global disaster to the next, humanity faces what will perhaps be its final enemy: the epidemic “Heavy” and its aftermath. Aided by human folly, apathy, and arrogance, the Heavy has wiped out most of the planet’s population, and with it, all semblance of civilization. A few, scattered bands of survivors are left to pick up the pieces and rebuild—if they can.

Told from the viewpoint of one of the surviving groups’ leaders, Eminent Plague is a fascinating study of courage and cruelty in the face of nearly unimaginable hardship. Don Lowell paints an intricate picture of the plague’s survivors, struggling to overcome the ever-present threats of starvation and disease, and in the process creating the beginnings of a new, primitive society. But their modest success draws brutal bands of human predators, intent on plundering their hard-won resources and on burning and killing everything else—indifferent to humanity’s long-term survival. In Eminent Plague, humans overcome disease, starvation, and anarchy…but can they survive human stupidity?

My Review

After reading this book I wonder what would really happen is something like actually happened. This book makes you think about society and how different things could be. I feel that what happens in this book could really happen and that most people would act like this if society fell apart. Once I start this book I couldn’t put it down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books about rebuilding after society falls apart.

FTC-I received this book for free in exchange for my review. The opinions are 100% my own.

Laughing Til It Hurts

Mama’s Losin’ It

For the writers workshop this week I chose to write about #5 which is: Write about the last time you laughed until it hurt…what happened?

Most people probably don’t know that I was raised by my grandparents. Over the last few years my grandma and I have gotten really close are she is always doing things that make my laugh until I am crying most of the time. My little brother also does crazy things to get a laugh out of people. I am sure some of the things we laugh about aren’t funny to other people but they sure amuse us.

We were out to dinner in January and we were finished eating and getting ready to leave when my brother looks around and says “I am going to get shot for this one”. We all looked at him kind of strange and he grab my napkin and his and held them up to his head. I won’t say what he said but lets just say all of us were laughing til we cried. I kind of wish we had done it sooner because there was a guy sitting near us that kept staring at us the whole time he was eating. I wish we could have given him something to stare at.

My grandma also will mix up her words or say wrong colors and after she says them wrong she looks at us with a strange face and almost always says “Who’s Yo Mamma” which makes me laugh even harder because of how she always says it. We are always laughing at our house and I am sure people would get a kick out of how we act most of them.

When is the last time you laughed til it hurt?
