Announcing UNREALPOLITIK

Introducing UNREALPOLITIK, a speculative fiction anthology that explores the “interesting” political times we’re living in. 

My short story, “Red Alert,” is featured in this awesome anthology!

AN EXCERPT FROM “RED ALERT”

The train is safe, they tell us. Crime is almost nonexistent. We’re safer than all the other civilizations in history, thanks in part to the separation of races and the closure of our borders. And, of course, the Dynastic Family’s tough stance on crime. We’re safe.

They pronounce the state of safety so frequently, I wonder if it’s a recording playing on a loop instead of the breaking news they claim it to be. Even now, I’m looking at a holopic of John T. Barron himself giving a thumbs up in front of a chart with a declining red line. It’s the same picture I’ve been looking at since I was a young thing. Barron is young there, too, golden-haired and free of wrinkles. I believe the pic was taken around the time he took over as the leader of the Dynastic Family, some forty-odd years ago. He must be brushing ninety by now, if my math is correct. No one’s seen him in decades; he might be dead for all we know. I don’t know who would be in charge if he were dead. There’s some evidence to suggest the DF was never truly in charge to begin with, not even before this era known as the Tremendous Greatness fully began, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
