story looks good, Plausible post apoc reasoning. not war but natural disaster.

Hope you will be reading this on SHort Story Night....

Mmm, I need to get a few more of APP. Delightful

Thank you! Although Stephen Baxter soured himself in later years. He did get me started on the concept of hard SF. I tried to put in what I know of sociology, and psychology to craft character's trying to survive.

I certainly will, I just might change it slightly to include a plentycael.

Stephan Baxter co authored a book with Arthur C Clark called The Light of Other Days. not sure which one did the attack but it was a blatant athiestic smear job on people of faith. I am really not interested in reading him any further.

I remember that book, and I agree with you. Sad that he turned out to be like Scott Card :\

Very cool. This is the kind of future I dread.

It's scary to think of.

That's what I was trying to get. As an undergrad with a major in psychology and minor in sociology, my stories tend to incorporate those aspects. I understand, Ms. Ursula K Le Guin was similar; she wrote of the psychology of the characters for action stories bored her. (if you haven't read her "Ones who walked away from Omelas" Do so. It's short.

I'm also wanting to portray a sense of optimism and hope in all bad situations. There was a book I read back in high school or soon afterward that really soured me to post-apocalyptic fiction; "Stand On Zanzibar". Horrible book, I had to force myself through it and never will read it again. But because of it, I now write this type of fiction as a 'reboot' of civilization where it'll become greater. Much like what Europe went through in WWII.

Your more than welcome. I read 'Earthsea' only recently and enjoyed every minute :).

I'll certainly continue to write with hope and optimism. I fully agree with all you said.

very nicely done Kantuck...
