This short story by J.J. Campanella falls into the categories of speculative fiction and horror with bits of Japanese anime and manga samurai tales thrown in. It is a dark two-hander and takes place in a blasted, post-apocalyptic world where the remainder of civilization is isolated to a few securely protected and walled city-states. The tale was originally written for a short story collection that was never published. The anthology aimed to retell classic fairy tales in the guise of science fiction.
