Brilliant! Totally unexpected dude. (And explains the horses)
‘The Long Walk’ is one of my all time favorite short stories.
Of course, it’s only a theory at this stage…right. Could be another diabolical tactic to throw my thinking off course. (like the WW2 reference in chap1)
What will you do next??
Its funny, and I can mention this now because I loved these new Chapters so much…but I was slightly annoyed that you were not 100% focused on the ‘Second Coming’ storyline. I was like…”How dare he churn out new work before continuing that one? How selfish could one man be?”
But it’s all good now man. I really like the mystery here. (Along with RVN 2)
Keep up the great writing!

As a side note…There’s a story by author Wilbur Smith named ‘The leopard hunts in darkness’, (part of the Ballantyne series),…and at the beginning there is a group of poachers that drive a heard of Elephant to an open range, where they then slaughter them all and remove their Ivory. Brutal. Reminded me of this situation a little.
Additionally, if you google ‘Elephant Walk’ you get some mighty interesting definitions.
Looking forward to the next installment!

I have never read that Wilbur Smith story but I do, somewhere in the back of my mind, recall a similar story. No, "The Long Walk" was definitely the muse for this story and it is one of my all time favorite short stories, too. I really can't tell you where the title "Elephant Walk" came from...lol...it was just..there! You know, I am concentrating more on "The Second Coming" than anything else. I just haven't published any or it on storymash. The only reason I can offer is that I'm seriously working that storyline into a novel and, well....kind of want to keep it 'under wraps' for awhile, you know? I'm very please that you like it!!
