Veronica Scissors is out. Thanks to those who bought it! Time to ready the next story for publication. I’ve written here previously about the end of the world showing up in a lot of my stories lately. Let me be a little more specific. These stories lately involve a soft apocalypse, where the world doesn’t end outright, but instead undergoes a slow decay, and people attempt to adjust and survive. This was the second of my apocalypse stories, and I wrote it right when Covid was first entering the headlines. No one knew how bad Covid was, or how long it would last. Politicians and experts issued statements that were contradictory and confusing and self-serving. The word “lockdown” had just entered the national conversation. My Dad had just died.
