Apocalypse Blog – Day 14

Posted by dewight in FREE Fiction on October 29

We had a blackout last night. As far as I could see, darkness, no streetlights, no house lights, nothing. Normally when this happens, it’s after a bad storm or high winds but it was as still as could be last night; maybe someone hit a telephone pole but it was really widespread. Again, nothing on […]

Apocalypse Blog – Day 13

Posted by dewight in FREE Fiction on October 27

I went out for a ride early this morning. The heat is already building here and it was eighty degrees at nine in the morning so I wanted to get this tour of the city done before it was too hot to handle. The temperatures are astounding when you consider that it’s not summer. Once […]

Posted by dewight in FREE Fiction on October 17

I’m a bit down because last night the online news informed us that the governor does not believe that thirty days is going to be a sufficient shutdown to stop the virus from spreading uncontrolled. Does he realize that some of us do not qualify for unemployment insurance? I think I’ve got about ninety dollars […]

Apocalypse Blog – Day 5

Posted by dewight in FREE Fiction on October 15

Vegas is one of the most exciting and active cities I’ve ever seen in my life—just not last night. My neighborhood is full of restaurants, grocery stores, and other necessary businesses so everything is open and life seems normal except for all the people with face masks. Las Vegas Boulevard just demonstrated how radically different […]
