Thanks for the comments. I know there are some spelling errors.
I wrote that story back in 1993. I could see it coming, even way back then. Look at the laws and such that are in place now. It does make you think.
I hope people will think about the story and wonder if it happens to them, what would they do.
I have two favorite quotes from history.
1. "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." ------ Winston Churchill
2. "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."---- Robert A. Heinlein
I can't say it any plainer than that.

SheWolf, I thank you for the comment. I have thought about writing more but havent been motivated to do it. I have always wanted to expand on this story too.
The reason for writing the story was to get people thinking about "what if" and do some prepping.
I am a Paramedic and thats why the story is in that venue. A lot was written about runors but now they have come true. It just became public knowledge in the last year that they can trace and listen to your cell phone without you knowing about it. Also With Birdflu planning, they said that all medical people will be drafted. The State told us that 4 months ago. We live and learn.

I enjoyed your story. Really made me wonder about friends and family who think we're nuts for prepping and would probably turn us in in a minute. I don't know how to rectify that problem - it will take some thinkin' about.
Do hope you write more. Thanks!

Holistic Granny: I know what you mean. A "friend" at work was telling the others that I had a bunker and all kinds of things which are not true. And I told him that he needed to prep as well. He said that he didnt need to because he would come to my house, shoot me and take what he needed but for me not to worry because he would take care of my family!
I worry about that also.
I worry about that also.
