The Piker Press features my apocalyptic horror tale, “At the End of the World, My Daughter Wept Metal”

I am honored to share here today that The Piker Press published my apocalyptic sci-fi horror story, “At the End of the World, My Daughter Wept Metal.”  It is even featured on the “front page.”

The story follows the tragedy of Jacob Farmer, a bereaved husband struggling to raise an adolescent daughter in the wake of her mother’s death.  He is also a brilliant inventor, a role in which he takes pride — until his breakthrough medical technology destroys the human race.

You can find the story right here.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share within the wonderful creative community of The Piker Press.

Enjoy!  And please be careful with nanotechnology.
