Resistance

by Bryn Jones

A new virus has spread to every continent, too virulent to contain. It ravages society. Only one man seems to be immune. Mel, a worker at the department of health notices that he's becoming increasingly resistant to any injury or illness. He fears he'll be forced to watch his wife and kids die of this horrible disease.

Then another shows up. A man promising a cure. But something doesn't seem right. And the world continues to die.

[Peter Younghusband · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, this shows great promise but it is too short and would be great if longer to flesh out the story. He writes well and has the talent of a great writer. I like his imagination and creativity. The spiritual elements are very good but could be better if developed more with the increase in story length. Three stars due to the shortness of the story and how this affects the overall effect of the story.

[Rebecca Harris · Rating 2 out of 5]

Short story, not full length book.

Quick read, not clearly religious in nature, but there were certain undertones if you know how to spot them.

Conflict-resolution scenes could have been a little stronger, but as a short story that's hard to fit in sometimes.

Overall, one time read for me.

An interesting short story. I was left wanting to know more about Mel and to know how his experience might tie in with a larger apocalyptic narrative.
