WWIII

 WWIII is the backdrop for a new tale. Henry's family is all gone, taken by successive pandemics. He lives in an American city victimized by repeated missile and drone strikes. Some of the great cities are no more. Nuked. Everywhere there are any military installations around the globe and beyond is war. The story begins with Henry sifting through the rubble of a supermarket and finding an unlabeled can, overlooked by preceding scavengers. He finds himself in a struggle with a boy, who wants that even more than Henry needs it.

There is no schedule for when it may appear in my blog of free stories.
