you have hit the nail on the head on the way the brain works when someone is severely depressed. Scarily so.

That is actually very scary indeed, because most of the self-loathing stuff just came straight out of things I often say to myself. Perhaps I'm depressed!

I love the contrast of Sam's point of view on how Gene feels, to how Gene actually sees the situation.

They're so different in character, background and experience - especially recent experience - that it's almost inevitable they'd see things differently, I suppose. I don't know if they'll ever come to see each other's viewpoint on this; I certainly don't feel inspired to write that part at present, but who knows.

I hope there will be at least one more.

Well, it's largely down to you that this ever got further than Fighting to Survive, so you tell me a couple of scenes you'd like to see (I suppose Sam wakes up and Sam goes home are obvious ones, but feel free to name anything at all you'd like to see in this series), and I'll think on them and see what happens.

I can't make any promises at all, because my writing just doesn't work to order, but I'll do my best for you. Currently I have one more scene nearly complete, where Gene is talking to Sam, trying to find a way through to him in his coma.

I'm very pleased you're still enjoying this!
