Nuclear Winter
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She liked to sit and imagine it was as it was in the books she had read - men and women dancing at regal balls, children playing in open fields, animals of all kinds wandering about freely. She had never felt the grass against the soles of her feet or let the cool water of a brook run through her fingers. She had never let the rain fall on her face or even felt the summer wind blow her hair. In her world, it was all gray walls and scuffed wooden floors and the smell of stale, stagnant air.

The Rescued
A few years ago, I was published as part of an anthology project surrounding the concept that there was life on Venus. We collaborated on world-building, and it was a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the publisher had to close, and so the anthology can no longer be found on Amazon. This was the story I published.

Your Turn
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Over the years, the cabin had been home to squatters, one-night-staying hikers, a raccoon or several, and the like. Locals had said that the cabin had been largely unoccupied since the family that inhabited it had suddenly disappeared in the early 20th century. Versions of the tale blamed consumption, starvation, murder, and even a mysterious curse. The truth, as it often is, was much worse.
