    The Duty of Charon, or Dr. Mertvyago's Notes

    The weather is disgusting. Slushy. Dirty snow slush has been underfoot for a week now. It's as if whoever is in charge of the weather up there got tired and decided to take a nap. And this fog is...

    The guy carefully closed the round hatch cover, pressing it tightly with his shoulder, tightened the latch, and turned on the compressor. In fifteen minutes, the air would be almost clean. The gas masks could be removed. His companion...

    • Unsettling and very depressing, Dmitry. All those post-apocalyptic stories are horrid in their own way, but this was extra painful as the main characters were kids. Your story reminded me of the movie The Blue Lagoon from 1980. Two teenagers stranded on a deserted island and tried to cope with the situation the best they could. They even had a baby of their own, and at some point they saw no other way out, and decided to end their lives by eating some poisonous berries …

      • Thank you! I love evoking emotions in readers.
        But in “The Blue Lagoon” (part two), the heroes actually survived. In my story – no. No chance πŸ˜‰

    • I agree with Al this was unsettling. Well written and conveyed allot not leaving the mind to wonder what happened next.

    On the stars

    Vika carelessly pulled her jacket over herself, habitually wrapped a scarf around her neck, and left the apartment. Even this now seemed unnecessary and excessive. Why bother? With the decision made, it was completely pointless. Except perhaps to smoke...

    • What a story. I like the banter back and forth between them and how she actually listened to the old man when he talked. The conversation about brings loved one’s back is one I find interesting because would they want to come back to this world in the state it is in? Welcome to Stars Rite

    • Powerfully penned, D. Excellent storytelling my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite. Appreciate you.

    • Interest concept for a short story. The search for immortality in technology. It’s right around the corner which makes this write right on time! Enjoyed the read.

      My finance very much wants to have his consciousness downloaded and saved. I’m not so sure. Lol

      • Thank you for your kind words. I think one way or another we’ll all become immortal in the stars πŸ™‚
