Standing in the control room and about to take over his father’s position of running it, Mark quickly realises there is more happening than a simple handover; he's about to find out that Eden has secrets…dark secrets.
Eden by Michael Robertson is a flash fiction piece about a father and son reviewing footage from the beginning of a 30 year long apocalypse. People often say decisions based fear can lead to deadly consequences, but sometimes, as proven in Eden, decisions based on love can be the deadliest of all.
There is also another story called Pandora included. What first appears to be a twist on Greek mythology, quickly descends into a nightmarish scene in a dystopian hierarchy, apparently taking place after an apocalyptic event involving the undead. While the suspense held my attention, I would have preferred a more elaborate ending.
Robertson's stories are interesting examples of the little moments which impact people more than the big moments.
As always,
