What would you do if the world as you know it had just come to an end? This takes a very suburban look at the aftermath of the collapse of society, and asks what would you do to survive? (700 words)

Set in John Birmingham’s forthcoming World War 3.1 alternative history novel, this story presents a slice of the opening salvo of the war through the eyes of both fictional and historical figures. (2,800 words)
A “Furious Fiction” piece for the Australian Writer’s Centre monthly writing challenge – 500 words over a weekend with a series of conditions on what the story must include. Challenges you to think outside the box. (500 words)
Another “Furious Fiction” piece – in this case, 500 words in about 5 hours. Very surprised (and happy!) that this one made the shortlist of stories that were published (500 words)
