Mike had insisted that he at least handle the clean up and wouldn't take no for an answer. This got several comments about Mike being a wonderful house husband, as they teased him before going upstairs.

Upon his return to the living room, he saw all three of his partners working on hooking up a laptop to the tv. They all wore matching teal pajama pants with penguins on them and gray tight tank tops.

They stopped and looked up at Mike. Tina was the first to speak, "we all figured that with everything going on that we could just cuddle and watch some movies."

Mike's eyes wandered between the three amazing women that sat in front of him, "ya that actually feels like what I need."

This got some cheers and high fives amongst his partners as he sat down on the couch. Cindy and Emma were quick to dart to either side of him as they cuddled into his sides. Tina got an anime started, and turned towards the coach. She shook her head looking at the two other gals before she sat in Mike's lap and just leaned back into his chest. He let a slight chuckle out as he wrapped his arms around the two on his sides and rested his chin on top of Tina's head.

Mike took solace in the closeness he felt. The deep feeling of being alone had shrunken as they watched the anime together. He wondered what other hurdles would come his way and how he would overcome them.

Excellent chapter 5/5

There could have been a bit more character development here in this relatively short chapter. I like the style, and the set up, now on to the story arc and the adventure....

Good start. If Tina graduated from the Air Force Academy, she woul be called Lieutenant and not Airman.

Hope this longer break means your writing a long piece to this incredible story! Keep it up, we are all waiting!

Having spent some time in upper panhandle Idaho during the COVID pandemic, I think you might be understating the reaction of the people there. I will never forget seeing a line of people waiting to get coffee. No one wearing a mask. Several coughing. All talking about how the fake virus was a joke. A couple of years on now, some of the people we know in the area talk about people that died during COVID but they never blame the virus.

I really like this spin-off to the core stories. Mike is just 18 and while that is legally an adult, there are very, very few 18 year-olds who are actually mature enough to really be adults. Mike is going to have to grow up very fast. Everyone they know that is just a few years younger (all younger siblings, cousins, neighbors etc.) are dead. I hope you spend more time fleshing out Tina's character. She's only a few years older but at that age, that makes a very large difference.

Bravo, and I hope you keep going!

Great followup. Might want to remember that I imagine Cindy at least will also possibly be freaking out about family and friends. Email knows her dad is fine I imagine if he's able to "pull strings".

Also the "oh" here should start with a capital, and there's an unnecessary space between it: "" oh, Nathan the soldier...".

Is shamed the word you wanted here? "Mike shamed his head to return back to reality,".

"She nodded enthusiastically and left Mike closed the door and set the casserole on the counter." Punctuation missing after "left". (Nothing this stuff a you can tweak your master file).

"He laughs as he says" prior to this you were using past tense narrative, you changed to present tense mid paragraph.
