About this ebook
"IF I HAD KNOWN HOW THE DAY WOULD TURN OUT, MAYBE I WOULD HAVE STAYED AT HOME..."
It was supposed to be a special day. A father takes a planned trip to a remote farm with his son and a neighbour’s child, looking forward to sorting through the records and dealing with the farm hands helping with the animals. Once that is sorted out, it would be time for some fun, exploring the area and trying out the goo on the lab rats.
They arrive at the farm in the evening after a long drive. The kids hurry off to their sleeping bags while he quickly unpacks and lays out their food, clothes, items they would need ...and The Goo.
He steps out for a short while – and walks back into his darkest nightmare yet. What he faces will alter his life forever...."
A few reader comments: ‘‘...Beautiful! Just beautiful...’’ | ‘‘What a cliffhanger!!! You are a genius!’’ | "I wish the whole world would get to read this..."

I still felt a bit groggy, but I knew once I got to the farm, there would be warmth and food – and coffee. I salivated at the thought and fixed my eyes on the bumpy road ahead which seemed to snake ahead forever. Thunder rumbled softly in the distance as the truck bounced on the rocky road. It was going to be a very interesting day.
My son was fast asleep in the backseat, totally unperturbed by the constant bounce of the car as we made our fateful journey. Next to him was his girlfriend. Well, she was actually our neighbour’s daughter. A sudden trip had to be made and her mother, being a single parent, had asked if we could take care of her for 6 days. We had obliged.
It wasn’t much of a challenge when you consider Stella was a delightful bundle of energy and beauty, a quick learner and a great playmate for my son. They were both fast asleep because we had packed late into the night and had to leave at 4 am to get to the farm before we ran into some major traffic.
I had a few things to sort
