First Born

by Michael Colucci

When the sickness came, all the parents died and the kids were alone. Those who survived the end of the easy days were strong, clever and resilient. But now, ten seasons later, death comes for them again. Without medical or ancestral wisdom they describe pregnancy and childbirth as "two deaths," for neither the mother or infant survive. Meet North, Aura, Book and John as they battle the threats of the new world and relicts of old in their journey not only to survive, but to bring new life into this new world. A novella (40,000 words).
