From the pages of our first fiction issue, we bring you a short story by Cynan Jones, set in a near-future Britain ravaged by climate change. With illustrations by Nick Hayes.
'Why do you want to live in this world, here in this time and place? By the time you are 30 you may live a daily catastrophe beyond my ability to imagine. You may live on a hot, drought-stricken Earth as countries battle over what is left of its water. You may mourn the loss of the last animal species.' Nina Pick's letter to her unborn child. from Dark Mountain: Issue 13
