As an addition to a previous story I wrote and lost I give you Willow Tale or Outta The Bluu: Willow Tale. Outta The Bluu takes place way far in the future, sometime in 32XX but don't expect all content from the same year. The story is isolated to few characters focusing on the landscape and the encounters they have. A project not yet fully understood by The Coalition, all that is known is that it cause a catastrophic event that could shuffle all matter. This story follows a squad of three main characters, Mass the leader of the few, Matchstick the radioman, and Taridge the protagonist. The three are placed boots on the ground near to a Federation Base which they are tasked with clearing. Upon infiltration they uncover the true outcome of the event.

The following extract is of the first three chapters of my book. Set against the backdrop of a hypothetical global nuclear conflict at the beginning of the 1980s, The Observer follows Dennis, a member of the UK Royal Observer Corp, a military voluntary civil defence organisation whose wartime job was to monitor nuclear explosions and gather data for fallout predictions. With war imminent as the Soviets and the USA battle in the Middle East, the story opens a few days before hostilities break out and with the UK descending into chaos as marshal law, road blocks and riots dominate the landscape. Between shifts in his bunker, Dennis battles with life in pre-war Britain as well as a conflict of opinion with a wife who is determined that family should come before duty. Lost in the regret of boredom and estrangement from his brother and now deceased father, Dennis disagrees. The terrifying screech of the sirens sound as the world is plunged into nuclear war. Now Dennis fulfils his duty alongside his two companions, logging explosions within their vicinity. Disillusioned by the reality of war, his companions protest as Dennis reports every explosion to Group Control until it too is destroyed, leaving them with no further role to fulfil. Each person now faces their own demons as they wait for the fallout to clear. Dennis in particular has to fight his history of childhood failure. One month later Dennis emerges alone from the bunker, riddled with guilt as to why he abandoned his wife and child at such a critical time. Determined to find his family, Dennis travels across the ravaged countryside. He returns to his village to find it has been evacuated and with evidence that even this far from the cities the effect of blasts has left its mark.
