Dystopian Comedy

The Empty Nation series is sci-fi, romance, political satire, and comedy. The story begins 200 years in the future. In this first volume the framework for the entire series is defined with a wildly concocted futuristic plan by the new United States government to control the economic fate of the world (nothing new).

In Yurope! Hillary's Invasion, Thomas D. is the last self-sufficient man in America. The illiterate masses of humanoid gelatin surround him on their government assigned wheel chairs and clap rapturously as more and more of their freedoms are taken away in the pursuit of comfort. The first female American president, Hillary Clinton, is elected. At the same time, a mysterious stranger named Kuzen calls upon Thomas to liberate the country of Ungland.

A mildly political prisoner, incarcerated in an intolerant banana republic, manages to keep in touch with his lover outside, in spite of the heavy odds stacked against them, by inventing an ingenious method for signaling in secret - the story references Bizet's Carmen.

This original short story asks the question, "If eternal life came at the expense of love, would you choose death?"

Now the Congress of Animals is in control, unforgiving, and debating the fate of the planet’s most reviled species. The popular ruling: Exterminate humankind without exception. But a curious mare, coming of age, is making a case for a seemingly gentle person she longs to save - a wish for mercy that could once again unbalance the new and righteous nature of the world.
