I recently had a short story published in Fictions on Medium that I’m rather pleased with. It’s entitled Apocalypse 1983 and is inspired by the real-life 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident, which you can read about here. I won’t spoil my take on this alarming historic incident, but I will say my story was a response to a writing prompt from Fictions that specified the story be set in 1983 and feature a radio at some point.

Apocalypse 1983 is a good deal shorter than my usual short stories (just north of 2,000 words as opposed to the usual between 10,000 and 15,000 words), but it packs in quite a lot. I hope you find it interesting. You can read it in full on Medium here.
