I’m reading one of the bleakest stories I’ve ever read, it’s #FritzLeiber A Pail of Air. It’s narrated by a kid telling the story of how a passing star pushed the Earth away from the Sun and the devastating after effects. Earth is nearly a frozen tundra with little breathable air. The boy built a little shelter for his family. Every once in a while the kid goes outside with a bucket and thaws frozen air over a fire so their atmosphere is breathable. #bookstodon #scifi #shortstory #ballantine
