GROCERY RUN
a short story of the post-apocalypse
It’s been ten years since the world ended.
Survival is a daily struggle even for Lindstrom, one of the wasteland’s greatest scavengers, who relies on his wits to find food and supplies in desolate places. But post-apocalyptic America presents many dangers more pressing than starvation—none greater than other survivors, raiders who take what they want by force.
Lindstrom’s only companion is his latest and most bizarre discovery: an addled old Santa Claus robot with a penchant for dancing. Together, they try to scratch out a living in the ravaged ruins of the old world.
