Read "Local Girl Liveblogs the Apocalypse"

The world cannot be saved. But Katherine isn’t giving up. She’s blogging in year 2029 from small-town Ontario. Her subject? Civilization collapse. Can she create a safe haven to keep her loved ones free from violence and scarcity? She didn't want the job, but she's dying anyway. It's gotta be her.

This story is best experienced linearly, reading the chapters and “blog posts” in order.

blog - what if you loved yourself even though you're going to die

chapter 1 - think about the first call you’d make as the world ends

blog - it begins at the end

chapter 2 - this apocalypse is feeling a little underwhelming

chapter 3 - don't let your clever brain overrule your gut

blog - if you’ve got hope, tell me how

chapter 4 - absolute power annihilates planets absolutely

blog - stubbornness or grace

chapter 5 - thank-you and good-bye

chapter 6 - keep the machine running

chapter 7 - the first woman reaches out

more to come… new chapters as I write them
