Monte Vista Village, Toxic Soup (The Survivor Diaries) (13 page)

Now, in front of an audience of at least eighty five people, I stood. I was dumbfounded; unable to speak.

“Hello, neighbors,” said the Colonel. He seemed unfazed by the large number of people who had joined us. Had he expected them?

“I am Phillip Jackson, and this is Laura Balous. She has been leading a group of us using walkie talkie channels from our homes. Please join us.” I don’t think that the fact that he left out that he was a Colonel in the Army was an oversight.

Mark had already started to bring out some more folding chairs with some of our others. He beckoned them to sit down, and with startled glances at our group, they did.

I composed myself and continued on. “Welcome, neighbors and friends. Please have a seat. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you.”

And I was.
