Google said it was https://storiesonline.net/a/Zak/3 Unfortunately that address don't work. Zak is not listed as an author at this time.
I have the story saved off line but it is not complete and updated recently.
It seems Mr. Zak has left.
A pity as it was a very good story.
He posted a blog entry saying he was about to remove all of his stories on date x, then he did it. I have just been through all of the blog entries still up - they go back to 7/7 - and could not see it there, so either it was before then or the act of leaving also removes the blogs.
Looking back through my url history for traces of Zak,
- I looked at a blog entry on 21 June
- I looked at a story of his on 15 July.
One of those two dates will have been when I saw him announcing his departure, my guess would be the second one. For those with Premier Membership, you can see that his stories were removed on 30 August.
Edit: The act of deleting all stories also causes the blog entries to vanish, I had the url for his 21-June blog entry but it no longer works.
Another Edit: The 15 July story access has also vanished from my SOL "Historical Access" list. I assume that is permanent and that is not reinstated if an author - such as JRyter - returns.
Thank You for a very clear reply !
Pity, really.
Good story and great potential for further development.
Hope he's OK.
From what I remember of the blog, there were no medical problems detailed. Its title was
some things are more important than 'friends' and stats.
That can mean all sorts of things - family, health, whatever.
Edit: I was on holiday 7-12 August so that blog entry went to my mobile phone, not the desktop PC I'm using now. Oh well.
(this is after having read Zellus' response below)
I downloaded the blog entry;

Hi guys, thanks for all the support in the past, I have decided for personal reasons to stop writing and to remove my profile and all of my stories. Its not been an easy decision but some of these stories hold real memories for me, memories that should be laid to rest. I have had a ball, I have had some great emails full of abuse at my writing style and some great emails telling me that people love my stories. I have always said I write for me and because I write for me the stories hold too many memories.
So good luck and take care, and please if you like the stories download them before the 31st august as that's the day Zak dies ...
