I was struggling with a lot of short fiction I've read recently, but this was a great example of what can be done in tight number of pages. This intimate tale of a brand new mother facing an apocalyptic flood while having to care for her newborn and, maybe, just maybe find her husband in all the chaos...it's incredibly powerful and emotional. It reads like a series of quickly scribbled journal entries along her journey, both distant and yet still filled with desperation and longing. Really impressive.
