Is What It Begun As?

I was asked to write a post apocalyptic short story. Is what it began as. And i could not think of anything worse in any future context than that which had already happened. So i just serd i took that historical incident and then e followed that we ty still deal with, and moved it very slightly into the future. The characters are the light. I love that. There are so many good ones. One of my favorite character is rose. She's an afro indigenous tanager. She kind of sounds like an old woman because she spends a lot of time hanging out with old people. It's that whole thing of life. Oh, you're so strong. Like, congratulations
