    About this ebook

    Two tales of love and loss and nuclear war.

    Thirteen Minutes

    Caught in a supermarket, when the alarm goes off, Luke and David admit some unspoken truths to each other before the bombs fall.

    Four Minute Warning

    Tracy and Jimmy know you can't survive a nuclear war, even if civil defence leaflets and radio broadcasts claim otherwise. So they head for the seaside to wait for the end of the world.

    These are two short apocalyptic tales of 5700 words or approximately 20 print pages altogether.

    Warning: These stories are very dark and contain quite a bit of swearing.

      Letters

      Dec 3, 2020

      I was surprised to read Ken Meaux’s letter about a ‘Car out of time’ [FT397:72], describing how a Louisiana motorist on the highway drew level with an old car with 1940 number plates “in showroom condition”, with a similarly dated driver and passenge

      Apr 3, 2023

      The Hunt for T-Rex had led us, eventually, to the small Southern Californian town of Taft, where we’d systematically searched the streets and found the white 1959 Cadillac that we’d learnt about through popular Bakersfield and Los Angeles hot rodding
