I got my author copy of If There’s Anyone Left Vol 1 today: https://amazon.com/dp/B08NR9QYJK/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0…… Can’t wait to dive into the other stories! But let me say something about mine a minute.
There are a lot of stories about good people being ground down by heartless systems. And that’s a real thing that happens. But I feel like when that’s the only story we tell, it feels inevitable. We get nihilistic about it. “Good person destroyed by bad system, of course!” There’s also the template of good people being corrupted by the systems they’re in. That happens too.
But I wanted to tell a story that was the opposite. I don’t believe that evil is stronger than good. I believe our kindness can be effective.
This is one of those stories.
Anyway it’s pretty short, and I hope you like it. It’s called “We Care.” And I can’t wait to see what the other stories in this beautiful little volume have to say.
