The Jam is a short story about survival and sacrifice set in 2048, a decade after a nuclear autumn ravaged the earth. It follows a teenage girl who struggles with rage and
hopelessness as her middle-class American family is forced to join millions of
desperate foreign-born climate refugees traveling north. But when Kayleigh Fisher
meets another teenage migrant in the most savage of circumstances, she is
forced to reconsider everything she believes.
This short story was published in the March 2022 issue of Free
Radicals magazine. It
is an excerpt from a larger cli-fi novel I am working on, also called The
Jam.
