Nothing beats a good end-of-the-world story. It was sufficiently bleak, enough so to make the simple touches of humanity and cheeiros stand out in contrast without being so heavy handed that you want to dash your brains out with a Cormac McCarthy novel. But best of all, above the corpse stench, you ...

This story was like someone trying to bludgeon you into laughing with stale chunk of symbolism. It was awkward, somewhat painful and it made a mess in the kitchen.
