   That was you? I just read that following a link from John Scalzi. Fabulous work.

   “I just read that following a link from John Scalzi.”

   He was very kind. ;)

   He bought a story from me last year for Subterranean Magazine #4, the cliche issue.

   An excellent and evocative piece. Nicely done.

   You could make it even stronger if you fixed the science, though. Unless buried nuclear waste turning a global catastrophe into Armageddon is the point of the tale (which impression I didn’t get), having the asteroid hit a waste dump is silly. Nuclear waste isn’t that toxic, and is less radioactive than the found-in-nature material that went into things in the first place. Have it hit in Oklo if radioactive dust is your villain of choice, or a nuclear stockpile or something.

   Robert,

   That particular bit of science was vetted through actual scientists. ;-)

   Myca,

   I do. Much of it’s linked through my website: http://www.rachelswirsky.com
