Looking forward to seeing this story develop.

I’ve now read both versions of this story and have to say that while not as intense as the original, I like the new version because it captures what is more likely to be what real people experience in such a situation.
Everyone has been knocked to the bottom of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and by the end of the story they are working their way back up.
I’m looking forward to reading the continuing story of this town.
