I enjoyed this! I like the "world is ending but we're happy" genre. If such a genre exists. It's something I aspire to in my own work, and I'm happy to have found it here.
I like that genre as well! I don't know that it has a name, but I might call it hope-fiction. I have a few stories in my archives that are like that. End of the world, but out on a high note. Thanks for reading and commenting, Beatrix!
I’m still chipping away! Truthfully I had a major project at work to complete leading up to April 3 (a tenure portfolio consisting of my body of work from the past three years…ugh!), so I was at a standstill for a few weeks in March as I worked on that. Once I turned in that binder the weight was lifted. I’ve cranked out almost 2,000 words this week. It feels great to dive back in!

Hope-fiction! I like that!
I wonder if mole people like ice cream?
They like rock candy. 😉
🤣
This is a gem of a story.
Thank you, Bill! I think we both have an appreciation for a good end of the world story.
End times romance. Good one Brian.
Thank you, Jim!
Excellent story, Brian! I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Justin! Hey, how is the fantasy novel coming along? Still pecking away at it?

That's awesome! Slow and steady wins the race. 😁
Marvellous. What a wonderful opening paragraph. Did it intentionally echo War of the Worlds? Either way, I was gripped from then till the end!
Thank you, TK! War of the Worlds is definitely a favorite of mine so I'm sure on some subconscious level it was started that way. 😁
Excellent. Love a good end of the world romance. With ice cream.
A couple of sappy romantics we are, Meg! Thanks for reading. 😁
Very nice!
Thanks, David!
Well done!
Thank you, Bob!
