Introduction to: ‘These Uncertain Times’

This is bigger than you and me.

That doesn’t mean we stop being us.

A global emergency in our own backyard.

When a super-fungus takes over the world, Cara and Oscar, and the entire country’s population, hide away in isolation. Widespread fear fuels a dystopian lifestyle almost overnight.
Cara, who thrives on human connection, feels as if she is losing her sense of self. As she struggles in this new normal, her partner Oscar withdraws from her as he leans into isolation.
It doesn’t help that their eccentric neighbour refuses to self-isolate, and the woman across the road watches their house at night. Oh yeah, and that pandemic thing.

An ‘alternate reality’ relationship drama with a healthy dose of sci-fi nonsense, These Uncertain Times is a long short story told in six parts over six weeks.
