Whispers of the Ananouki
Setting: Georgia, 2027. A small, near-abandoned town after a catastrophic nuclear strike. Dima had never seen a morning like this before. The kind of morning where silence wasn’t comforting, but suffocating. It had been weeks since the strike. Weeks since he last saw anyone — or heard anything except for the rustle of the wind, which now carried an acrid, metallic scent. The fallout from the nuclear strike had ravaged his once-beautiful Georgian town, turning everything into a cold, gray wasteland. The skies were forever dimmed by the thick layers of radioactive ash.

Red Song: Part Two
Read part one first, published last week. Written when I was at university - around 2012. At the time, I was doing my dissertation on fairy tales and filling my brain with Angela Carter, Hans Christian Andersen, and many, many more and I decided to write my own mad tale. I'm very fond of this story, although I'm not sure what it means and maybe that doesn't matter (makes it less of a fairy tale though). It reads like a fever dream, which sums up what life was like at the time.
