Singing the Tell – New Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

Singing the Tell – New Post-Apocalyptic Fiction. My post-apocalyptic short story Singing the Tell has just been published by the fine folks at Longshot Island. In this tale, a young man seeks to take his place in a tribe of survivors who reinhabit an ancient cliff dwelling. His tribe are refugees from the water and food wars that decimated the region and the world. I’m sending out a huge shoutout to the editors of Longshot Island, a great English language ‘Zine based in Taiwan.
