“Evidence of Six Hundred Years”
Romie Stott
“The same underwater
earthquake that had caused the tsunami and made refugees of
those still alive in coastal cities had also broken the deep sea
cable that routed most international communications. The sky
was still dark with volcanic ash, blocking satellite signals.”
Q1 : Describe your cozy place.
A1: Big soft chair with a foot rest and a blanket, beside a window and a radiator. Window ledge deep enough to host a mug.
Q2: Summarize your piece in a haiku.
A2:
the future arc bends
today’s disintegration
a leafy seed bed
Q3: When the apocalypse hits, where do you imagine yourself being and why?
A3: At home. I’m usually at home. It’s where my stuff is. I’d love to sleep through it, but realistically I’m a light sleeper and demi-insomniac and would be awake.
Q4: What part about the apocalypse excites you the most?
A4: There’s a mild satisfaction in being right about things, and in being able to do things well, even when it’s not immediately obvious how that improves the situation.
