《Diary of Discord》Forward and Diary Entry #1

Forward
This idea came to me today as I thought of the current state of affairs around the world and certain events in my own life. I am from the country, a small rural county that has not been that affected by Covid-19, but preceding this whole pandemic by a week my wife suffered a car accident that has temporarily disabled her. One bad event preceding another. Had we not had our house and land paid for, this would have been a death stroke for the family. So, hence was born the premise of the new work. A diary, following someone under a similar pandemic, that causes an economic and civil breakdown. It will be written like a diary, with as little grammatical corrections as possible and it will follow our protagonist as things progressively get worse. If you have ideas or would like to see events change, by all means, message, leave comments and I will gladly include them. I am going to try to do these entries on a daily basis and see where it goes.
Diary Entry #1 Tuesday, April 7, 2020
I am so excited! I get to stay on my new piece of land for the first time tonight. We have put a camper there, right in the middle of the 20 acres, beside the creek. I am not sure how I will sleep without the noise of the city but maybe I will be able to use the iPhone for some white noise in the background. It has been to many years since I have heard the night noises of the country and my children have never spent the night outside the walls of a house. Maybe the background noise will help them sleep too. My wife is worried about mosquitoes and snakes and here I am ready just not to have to worry about another human being within a mile of us.

My boss does not want me to go this weekend. There is some kind of trouble brewing overseas with a new viral infection of some kind but I just tuned him out. We do, after all, live in the most advanced nation in the world, just through some antibiotics at it or something. I mean, why should I care.
I have made sure my parents are taken care of in the nursing home and off we go. Nervous, Gilligans Island, no phones, no lights, no motor cars....well no ac at least. But best of luck to us.

The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
