I think I've realized what it is about apocalypses I love so much: protagonists are pared down to sheer human will and ingenuity against something too huge to comprehend.
In a way, it's what fascinates me about war too.
Who would have thought that ten months as a marketing copyeditor would have taught me that much about writing?
The Midwest is amazing today: the heat and the miles of thunderheads to the west and the weeds and the vines and the chain-link fences and the color palette before a storm.
I can't get the late 40's out of my head. Post-war.
