Flowers Grow In Desolate Places was first published in 2013 by Big Pulp, but I'm re-releasing it on itch as its own ebook short story along with an original art cover! This story takes places in the Entropic Son universe, which is a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk trilogy I will hopefully be featuring more frequently going forward.
Entropic Son is a very different setting than Triple Strike. If Triple Strike is a future showing how humanity can grow up to have a place among the stars, Entropic Son is a bleaker world mired with gang wars and all-controlling corp-states. It explores topics such as cycles of violence, exploitation and subjugation, and the resilience of the human spirit.
This is the first of what will hopefully be a number of short stories I plan to release, assuming reader interest, so please let me know if you'd like to see more content like this!
