2012 Rabbits and the Happy Apocalypse on Shortwave Radio Roy Berger

Finally. It's the apocalypse. The old world is over. You wake up and now it's just you or just about you. Turns out, Stanley Brown has a problem. It's the end of the world and he doesn't have a date for Saturday night. A cataclysm of world events pushes Stanley out of his used book store into a lonely poisoned planet with only the buzz of shortwave radios and dogs for company. As the apocalypse approaches, Stanley seeks out the rest of the world to discover the year of the rabbit. Angry tirades, polemics and prescient conspiracy speculation fuel the novel. In the aftermath of the apocalypse, Stanley relocates to a century farm house. Enduring years of solitude and reflection, Stanley seeks human company. Shortwave radio, weather and dogs form part of Stanley's path in an amusing, hostile, literary, tirade of a demented hare raising tale. Using 2012 as a pretext for liberation, light hearted, heavy handed, here is my own never ending, take on tomorrow. ________________ Roy Berger lives in the legendary artist's colony of Ottawa, Ontario where the palm trees bloom in the winter and a cool breeze blows in the summer.
