Maya Woke Up Late for the End of the World
A Story from the collection Debris

"The point of the impact shouldn’t be far from here. Entire families, care home residents, barbers, lawyers and teenagers with no driving licenses drove all the way there. Pitching a tent and getting stoned, strumming acoustic guitars. Waiting to be vaporised with the big explosion.This is like a war movie. Only this is for real and there’s just one single bullet the size of a planet."
