Finish the story begins with:
“I see absolutely everything.”
The old man who had guided them through the jungle waved the hieroglyph of a huge eye and excitedly made the motions of flight. Marg was amazed and contacted the Brigadier.

Amazing how you can keep this going and each story is great! I like the idea of using a drone!
Thanks for your always welcome positive response PJ. ~ 🙂
I am not sure all drones are quiet but like the idea of stealth. The large eye was interesting and mysterious.

Thanks for reading and responding, have a great week. 🙂
I don’t know how you keep it going – it’s so impressive how you incorporate the prompts every week. Another great instalment 🙂
Thanks Sonya ~ I’m glad you’re enjoying the drifts of variable prompted stories that emerge and meld into the life of Marg.
The poor helicopter survivors (I hope they are still alive!) are still out there! Let’s hope Marg’s stealth drone idea works out.
Thanks Alister ~ The cards are face down at the moment ~ All should make sense when the Joker Dickus comes back on the scene
What? She will what? I love that you always leave me hanging and then pick right up the next week. Loved this chapter John! Thanks for writing for the Mondays Finish the Story challenge and be well… ^..^
Thanks Babs! I hope you are feeling better ~ 🙂
Getting better every day!
