Exanastasis

by Brad R. Torgersen

One of twelve winning stories originally appearing in L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future, vol. XXVI, "Exanastasis" tells the tale of a man who has literally lost everything, and yet is given back the one thing in the world he wants most of all -- save for the fact that it appears to be broken. "Exanastasis" is a portrait of our possible far future, after the terrors of a world war have left the Earth barren... only to be renewed again. It's a story of tragedy, love, loss, and hope.
