After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season five, Episode four – “Search for the Cure”

...

The small, yellowish, bones were strung on a piece of fishing line. They dangled from the man’s clutched fingers. 

“Take another step and I end you man!” He threatened. 

The muscles of his neck stood out taut like cords and he seemed to vibrate with malignant energy. 

His eyes were narrowed with defiance. His fists clenched. He was like a cornered wild animal.

The Corporal glared in response. 

It was a standoff.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season five, Episode 3 – “Barn Storm”

…

Janet sat off to one side scratching Bill the dog behind his ear and watching the leadership group assemble. She suppressed a smile, thinking to herself that in the new barn it felt like an odd ho-down or square dance might bust out.

Bill’s hind leg twitched, and he leaned into her hand insistently with his big shaggy head, pushing closer.

The barn was a statement, some might say a ‘testament’ to what Mag’s and crew were building. The distribution center, because of its original purpose, had rows of long metal buildings, administrative offices and an equipment maintenance garage, but it was not designed, nor was it ever intended, to support a farming community.

So, they got together and built a barn. It was a place to keep their growing stock of animals and equipment. 

A new place.

And a place that was, at the end of the day, a symbol. Evidence that they were working together to build something for the future.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season five, Episode two – “Alliance”

…

“The Plant” – was how locals referred to it. You didn’t need to specify which plant. It was the largest automobile production facility within 100 miles. The Plant employed over 1,500 union workers and pumped out 1,000 new trucks and SUVs a day at peak production. 

The whole complex covered over 2,100 acres, with 2 million square feet of manufacturing. 

150 truckloads of materials a day fed the production lines.  A continuous line of barges, full of raw materials, were pushed up the river to its intake docks.  At a dedicated rail spur loaded trains with new vehicles waited to be distributed to happy bourgeoise across the country.

The Plant was its own little city. 

An industrial metropolis driving the beating heart of the great American manufacturing machine.

After the Apocalypse

A pandemic survival story

Season five, Episode one – “Oracles” 

...

Pure, animal terror gripped the Old Man as he struggled to climb. Every time he reached to grab, to pull himself up and away from the encroaching pursuer, his arms and legs would become tangled in torn shreds of clothing and dead flesh. He was trapped between the gibbering aberration of fetid death grasping from below and the decayed ornaments of human detritus crumbling in his hands above.

George Allen Miller Interview – Our Favorite Sci-Fi

Hello my apocalypse survivors. This week we present to you the penultimate in the series of interviews from our summer break between seasons. 

I'd love to be on your podcast! What days/time works for you? I put together a media kit on my website, www.georgeallenmiller.com, with details about me, the book, and areas we can talk about. 

https://georgeallenmiller.com/eugene-mcgillicuddys-alien-detective-agency/

Hello my survivor friends. Today we present a 25 minute interview of science fiction author and all-around interesting thinker, Fran Tabor.

Don’t worry, we are getting close to the end of our summer vacation. Soon, you and I, and countless others, will be walking hand in hand towards the blinding sunlight of Season 5. 

I am working on the script for season 5. And by ‘working on’ I mean running out of time and worrying with intense apprehension at how we are going to extract ourselves from the story. 

We need to give our characters compelling finality to their arcs, we need to resolve a number of tensions, we need to answer several questions and do it all in an entertaining and fulfilling way. 

A world class way. 

I always get it done. I will power through and I’m sure we’ll all be satisfied.

Hello my survivor friends. Today I present a far-ranging, long form interview that I did for the Stoned Genius Podcast. 

The TLDNR is a) If you are looking for the main narrative this is not that. Season 5 will start up again at the end of the summer.  And b) this is me being interviewed on another podcast and is over an hour and a half long – so you have been warned and c) I’ll drop the full interview here and will not put in any outro comments.

The interviewer is Rodney – “the Stoned Genius”. He produces the eponymous podcast and interviews all kinds of different and interesting people. 

I enjoyed having a conversation with him. I don’t get enough opportunities to interact with interesting people. I used to travel more and could scratch that itch. These days I’m felling a bit of cabin fever. I need to find a way to get out more and interact. 

Send me suggestions on groups I should join. 

This interview covers a lot of ground. Rodney was more interested in my long-distance running exploits than my writing and podcasting. So, get ready to learn some things about me that you probably didn’t know. 

Rodney’s a curious soul. 

That’s what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe.

If like what he’s doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.

Show description:

The Stoned Genius" is a podcast that blends humor and cannabis culture, exploring a wide range of topics through the lens of genius enjoying marijuana. Hosted by Ro Martin the show features discussions, interviews, and even comedic skits, all infused with a lighthearted and often irreverent tone.

Like I said – I’ll skip the outro comments on this episode because the interview is lengthy. 

Here are my updates:

Interview Roger Smith - Robotics and SciFi

https://www.rddsmith.com

Hello my apocalypse friends,

Hope you are doing well. In this episode we treat you to an interview with Robert Smith where we talk about robotics and AI. 

For those of you time traveling in from the future, it is June of 2024 and we are between seasons 4 and 5 of the narrative. 

As is my habit I take a break from the main narrative over the summer months, but fill the airwaves, or I guess that would be internet-waves with other things. For this summer I’m going to run a number of interviews. Some where I am the interviewer, like this one, and some where I am even the interviewee.

So – if you’re not interested in that, feel free to skip ahead to season 5.
