damn i wish i was a writer and i could really hook you into reading this lol. the way this is written really takes you there and shows the emotions and really paints a vivid image

 

It was good read i will join the site just for more reading to be had. 12hr shifts in a dark room you something to do besides watch the 8 monitors. I have 2 computers to play with.

 

Reading it now. Wow, that's fucking nutty. Specially the parts about cannibalism.

Good thing they're rocking a diesel. Never would have made it with a gasser.

 

hahaha yeah i found it out of boredom on another site and i started avoiding work to finish it lol

yeah i didnt even think about gas until halfway through and they needed it and i was like omg where you gonna get gas in africa lol

jeeze it was a great read though and an amazing journey

 

holy shit this is great! its like a novel except real. i'm on page 3 and i'm completely hooked.

 

lol well you have 50+ pages to go.

 

marked for later, pics are blocked at work

 

ive never read anything like this before

it really is like a novel

if this were only a series i would read them all

 

On page 3: I bit my thong and kept on digging.

I LOLED

 

i had to stop and go home for the day at page 31. this is unbelievable. could you imagine having stories like that to tell when you're hanging out drinking with buddies?

 

It'd be kinda boring.

"I braved the jungle, avoided being killed by roving gangs of angry black people with machettes and had crazy jungle sex."


"Well uh, I went down town today...it was kinda cold out"

*Sigh*

 

I've now killed two days at work reading this thing. I'm on page 50 (they just made it to Kikwit).

I've been a lot of places (including the DRC), but this is incredible. I especially loved his protection as "a sense of humor and a smile. And failing that, a pair of quick legs!"

 

WOW
