“Engineering the Apocalypse”

Opening screen for Well Read Magazine, where Kim's story "Engineering the Apocalypse" appeared in the January 2024 Issue.

Many thanks to Mandy Haynes and Well Read Magazine for publishing my story, “Engineering the Apocalypse.” What a nice thing to wake up to first thing on New Year’s Day 2024.

This story, “Engineering the Apocalypse” is one I wrote initiallly for a flash fiction contest, and while it did well in the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction competition and allowed me to progress in the contest, it was never published. It’s nice to see it out in the world.

sidenote: "Engineering the Apocalypse" is in Kim's new story collection, Trust Issues, coming November 2025 from Cornerstone Press.
