    That was you? I just read that following a link from John Scalzi. Fabulous work.

    “I just read that following a link from John Scalzi.”

    He was very kind. ;)

    He bought a story from me last year for Subterranean Magazine #4, the cliche issue.

    Wow, that was really quite excellent!

    Do you have more of your stuff online?

    An excellent and evocative piece. Nicely done.

    You could make it even stronger if you fixed the science, though. Unless buried nuclear waste turning a global catastrophe into Armageddon is the point of the tale (which impression I didn’t get), having the asteroid hit a waste dump is silly. Nuclear waste isn’t that toxic, and is less radioactive than the found-in-nature material that went into things in the first place. Have it hit in Oklo if radioactive dust is your villain of choice, or a nuclear stockpile or something.

    Robert,

    That particular bit of science was vetted through actual scientists. ;-)

    Myca,

    I do. Much of it’s linked through my website: http://www.rachelswirsky.com
