About this ebook
A real-time account of one man's experiences during the apocalyptic government shutdown of the United States government in 2013.
This project started as a series of Facebook posts I did as the shutdown was going on (so keep in mind this e-book is very short). Now that it’s over, why not share the collection of posts with you?
The events described may or may not be true. Judge for yourself.
