Empty Camp

OldBones-Larry
5 6 68

Reinforcements arrived during the night.

A very large group of Bedoin heeded the call and came to aid the Sheik and myself.

We sat in the tent and made our plans late into the night.

At dawn, we sent out a scout to gather information so we could finalize our plan of action.

He just arrived back at camp with news.

Nic's bunch has left.

They abandoned everything and melted away into the night.

Their camp is totally devoid of men.

The Bedoin stated that he thought they had left right after dark had fallen.

They lit a fire and melted away a few at a time.

The Sheik says he will try to pick up their trail and deal with them.

I will continue on towards the mountain with my load of vipers and scorpions.

Keep a sharp watch my friends.

You never know where Nic or his men will pop up and try to destroy all your hard work.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Larry the Caravan Master

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
