X: A Short Story

‘Don’t let me lose myself.’

Fifteen-year-old X knows she's going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old farmhouse, she starts a diary to document her final few days. Much less than a few days if the uglies manage to get in.

X is a post-apocalyptic short story from Jack Croxall, author of the Tethers trilogy.
