This was originally published as part of Pandemonium: Stories of the Apocalypse. I'll add my review of the story I wrote for it as part of that edition here:
My absolute favourite story was also the last one in the book, it was Sophia McDougall's Not the End of the World. Set in what seems to be Second World War Germany, it's a look at life in a police state, where one needs to confirm to rigid rules or fear being denounced. It is also a love story between two unlikely characters. For me, Not the End of the World was almost picture perfect, from the setting, to its protagonist and the wonderful twist and denouement, McDougall swept me up and took me along, without me even noticing I was turning pages.
