I've updated with another short story in A Cluttered Mind. It follows along the same dystopian world as the first story, set in the same world. I feel a thread for this story pretty strongly and may stick to it for a while.

I like the end of the world without the end of the world genre. The downfall of society, the after effect. This world we live in is full of imaginary things that we then give power. Money and Credit are two of these powerful, imaginary objects. The recent government shut down is just an example of how imaginary money really is, and credit for that matter. Does anyone think anyone can ever pay back a trillion dollars?
Our society hinges on these imaginary things, and that's why I like the after effect dystopia genre. Life would go one without these things. No one is a dollar sign, no one is a credit rating. And with the news of the possible impending climate change, I'm inspired to write this world where the climate (which is very real as opposed to zombies,) ends the world as we know it.
I'd like to start working on Aftermath again, but right now that well is dry. If this story continues, I may put Aftermath away and switch it out with this story instead. That's what happens sometimes with stories. They are living things and one idea may fall apart and another takes it's place.
Thank you for reading!
