In Veritas Lost – Science Fiction Short Story Zine

Description

This listing is for a 64-page quarter size handmade fiction zine. It’s a single science fiction story I wrote as my final project for a creative writing class. The formatted story laid out in the zine is liberally illustrated with found images. The initial concept was “post-apocalyptic dystopian Great Gatsby with lesbians,” but it sort of went off in its own direction. I have trouble judging the quality of my own writing, but I put a lot of time into writing it, and also into making it into a zine.

Note: This story doesn’t involve any romance, but the main character is a lesbian. It’s more about interpersonal bonds and emotions in general, particularly between parent and child, and whether being perpetually happy and safe is worth losing one’s free will and deeper connections with other people. You probably won’t want to read this if you don’t like unhappy endings.
