Here’s the most recent installment in my World of Radiation series. Read about Car, Jade, Lea, Mal, and more.
Apologies all Around
Continued from 'Safe' "What happened?" The woman asks as Arabella carries me into the house. With no furniture, she sets me on the metal floor in the kitchen and crouches next to me, squeezing my hand gently. I tug my knees to my chest. The tears no longer flow and I breathe normally, but fear… Continue reading Apologies all Around
Safe
Continued from 'Fetching Water' Arabella hands me the full bucket, taking the empty ones from my hand to offer Cly. Once more he releases it into the well. "Come on, Arabella!" A middle-aged man grumbles. "We've all been waiting here longer than you!" Her dark eyes snap to the man. "Shut it! How many parched… Continue reading Safe
For Your Safety
Continued from 'City Blood' Speechless. Not from confusion, but from understanding and it seizes my heart, halting it in my chest a moment. My breath catches, too. It gives me a moment to catch the darkness in the woman's dark green eyes. She means to kill us. Despite my best efforts at keeping a brave face, I… Continue reading For Your Safety

It shines down brightly on the city, illuminating it in its white glow. I still stand there when Arabella rounds the corner from the hallway. "You're… Continue reading Fetching Water
City Blood
Continued from 'Tension' "What do you mean I can't see her?" I demand. My fists clench at my sides as I hold back my anger. "I've been given orders not to let anyone see her," the blonde man standing in front of me explains. He holds none of the aggression I hold, but rather the… Continue reading City Blood
Clara
Continued from 'More' I jolt upright. My hands splay against the floor. My legs tangle in the countless blankets. My heart pounds. I breathe heavily. Sweat drenches my body as the image of the dancing flames ebbs back into the nightmare. The sun isn't up yet. Darkness still clutches the tiny room and the people sleeping… Continue reading Clara
