It was just another rainy day in autumn when Freya's house fell into the sea. Freya isn't your average suburban school kid– she's a demigoddess. But even a demigoddess can't hold back the sea. After a violent storm, Freya and her family are set adrift in a world where the weather comes with attitude, and rising sea levels are as much about personality clashes as climate change. School isn't a walk in the park either, not when Freya's classmates could be demigods, trolls or weres. All Freya wants to do is keep her cat fed and her family together. A friend wouldn't hurt either. Over the years she develops her own powers, but will those be enough to achieve her modest goals - or will her world wash away once again?

Welcome to the end of the world ...and more importantly, what comes after. Disasters have occured around the country and the world, but we're "getting through it", as Kiwi are apt to do. She'll be right. Life moves on, in some form.Things were bad here in Aotearoa, but in our isolation down under, we've escaped most of the chaos around the world. In fact, we might be the last bastion of humanity on the planet - anybody else home out there? Radio silence. Nada. Zip. This is not, however, just an anthology of disaster stories. These pages are filled with hope in the form of short stories, poems, flash fiction and artwork about what comes afterwards. The contributions are exclusively from SpecFicNZ members and reflect the diversity and breadth of this country we love to call home ... even if the edges are a bit torn and tatterred. Nothing that a bit of Kiwi ingenuity and some number 8 wire can't fix, eh? This is Aftermath : stories of survival in Aotearoa New Zealand. Kia kaha. Stay strong. And remember - we are always stronger together. Kotahitanga.

Stories of Survival in Aotearoa New Zealand

Aftermath

New job? Check. New home? Check. A life free of supernatural interference? If only! With university behind her, Freya is trying to live life as a mundane rather than deal with the reality of being a demigoddess. It should be easy, but supernaturals just won't leave her alone. The hot guy at work? Volcano demigod. Shifters? Turn up at every juncture. And the boring guy who hangs around the canteen is either just plain odd, or is a secret master of the universe. The North of England is heating up, and if Freya can't learn to embrace her heritage as a demigoddess, it won't just be her love life that goes up in flames.
