I wasn't immediately sure it was a nuclear explosion, but I immediately conjured images from Chernobyl, or those old films they made us watch in school. The descriptions of the abandoned homes also made me think of Pompeii. <br />As for the politics, you have depicted a reality, not a fiction. Care for the people, the community was minimal during the Chernobyl disaster under the Soviet government. It's saddening to think that the response now might be even worse, given some of the current world leaders in power. <br />As challenging as this allegorical tale is to read, it is powerful and compelling.Donna Hantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620841692960550354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-4260671616389549582020-06-22T11:25:09.066+10:002020-06-22T11:25:09.066+10:00Renewable energies have failed in some Australian ...Renewable energies have failed in some Australian capital cities.

A question though, why would renewable energies fail ? No wind, no sun ? A tiny lack of realism maybe, here. Otherwise very good anticipation fiction.

Governments have a way of doing what best suits them. We've seen that much in the past. This haunting tale may be fiction, but it contains a lot of disturbing truths within it.L.G.

You hinted back in April that a piece...Hi Denise, <br /><br />You hinted back in April that a piece like this might be coming from you in June. It's been in the back of my mind ever since, and I'm so glad to finally read it. I think your insights are spot on about how those who are in power are hiding the truth. What I find so tragic is how a lot of the deception is being integrated into the everyday minutiae of our daily lives. And because we are gradually becoming unwell as a society, we have less energy and lack the strength to find the correct solutions for ourselves.<br /><br />For example, over 40,000 Americans are predicted to die from breast cancer and some 13,000 from uterine cancer this year. But if someone were facing such a diagnosis and KNEW to google something like “Lugol's iodine” and “breast cancer,” having those search results might save their life. Or, to give just one more example, someone suffering a terrible infection and who is being given one antibiotic after another without any relief, if that person’s doctor knew about, say, something called Liposomal Vitamin C, they might not die a painful, tragic death. But I will guess that most doctors don’t know about Liposomal Vitamin C or Lugol’s iodine. This all might sound like crazy town, tinfoil hat talk until you’re hooked up to a IV drip of antibiotics in excruciating pain and you start looking around for evidence based medicine. But, then, some think that wearing a mask to protect them from a dangerous virus is nuts. <br /><br />So, yes, the danger is real. And a heaviness can weigh on my heart when I reflect on how much your piece seems to accurately describe the dynamics in current situation with so much insight. Thanks for sharing it.<br /><br />KarunaKarunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186228086930843202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-59025054108752833742020-06-19T01:55:52.312+10:002020-06-19T01:55:52.312+10:00You know what's scary?
