LIVING THROUGH SCIENCE FICTION: Darkness and Cold
The fourth installation of “True Stories from the COVID-19 Crisis”
Conditions I’m wishin’ weren’t taking control
Darkness and cold. Darkness and cold.
—Purple Mountains, “Darkness and Cold”
Three new pieces trickled in about the Covid-19 pandemic over the last year. Allow us to take this opportunity to reiterate that our Living Through Sci Fi project is a live submission call, seeking mini memoirs about your experiences in these troubled times. Today we have pieces about guilt, grief, and the persistant strangeness of our era.
If you or someone you love has lost someone close to them, remember you are not alone in your hurt, that it will likely hurt less in time, and that everyone experiences and expresses grief differently.
