Aftermath: Stories of Survival in Aotearoa New Zealand

Welcome to the End of the World\n...and more importantly, what comes after.\nDisasters have occurred around the country and the world, but we’re “getting through it”, as Kiwi are apt to do. She’ll be right. Life moves on, in some form.\nThings were bad here in Aotearoa, but in our isolation down under, we've escaped most of the chaos around the world. In fact, we might be the last bastion of humanity on the planet - anybody else home out there? Radio silence. Nada. Zip.\nThis is not, however, just an anthology of disaster stories. These pages are filled with hope in the form of short stories, poems, flash fiction and artwork about what comes afterwards. The contributions are exclusively from SpecFicNZ members and reflect the diversity and breadth of this country we love to call home... even if the edges are a bit torn and tattered. Nothing that a bit of Kiwi ingenuity and some number 8 wire can't fix, eh?\nThis is Aftermath: Stories of Survival in Aotearoa New Zealand.\nKia kaha. Stay strong.\nAnd remember - we are always stronger together. Kotahitanga.\nSpecFicNZ member contributions by Gary Nelson / Robinne Weiss / Jill Winfield / Hazel Bergen / Melanie Harding-Shaw / A.
